Oliver Hope 261 Posted December 18, 2018 how do use local variables, they seem totally broken... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Igor Q. 519 Posted December 18, 2018 Local variables run within the specific script at that specific moment. IIRC, if you have a time trigger, triggering multiple times, each local variable will be "unique" If you want a more permenant solution, create a local variable inside a global storage. This will allow you to access it from other scripts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Houp 237 Posted December 19, 2018 Hi, do you have any example what does not work for you? First please just post screenshot of your script and write your expectation vs what really happens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Houp 237 Posted December 20, 2018 ok, please write when you encounter a problem. We are not aware of any problems with local variables and we use them in our games. There are 4 types of variables: Local variables, Member variables, Member variables of global storages, Member variables of entity storages Local variables They exist only temporarily. You can use their set/get methods only in a scope where they are defined after their definition. The new ones are created each time same piece of code is executed. (local variable are also Item in For each tile or all Event's arguments) Member variables They are bound to specific entity or game logic. They are "global" for whole entity or game logic. You define them for an object and then you can use them in whole entity/game logic script. (in any number of events) Their value persist through several calls of the same event/instruction. They are saved to a save file. Member variables of global storages For them applies same things as for a Member variables. The only difference is that you are able to get/set their values from any entity/game logic script Member variables of entity storages Variables defined in entity storages does not allocate any data until the entity storage is assigned to a specific entity. After that that entity have all variables defined in entity storage and you can access them from any entity/game logic script. .. hopefully this helps a little.
