variable in both rooms doesn't work

[saanb]

i scripted a room with this one variable then later, i decided i needed that variable in another room too so i put int something at the top of the global script. then i used the variable in the other room and there was an error there so it didn't work. grrr.

Global Ints... manual....

Variables declared in the global script aren't automatically made global, they are still local to the global script. You need to export a variable in the global script so it can be imported back in the room scripts for access.

For example if you declare:
int blah;
in the global script and you want it to be accessible by other some room scripts you need to put first to the bottom of your global script:
export blah;
For rooms which need to access that variable, put on top of the room script:
import int blah;

You can also use GlobalInts for it, just check out the GetGlobalInt() and SetGlobalInt() script functions from the manual.
