Global variables [SOLVED]

[deedee]

Does anybody know if there is a scripting way in which you can modify the value of the global variables made up with the interface?

tnx

Interestingly, I think it is not possible. There's a GetGraphicalVariable function to get the values of them, but no way to change them from inside scripts! I don't know why this is! Anyway, you'll have to use a GlobalInt instead, I'm afraid. Maybe there should be a warning on those variables, like "Cannot be accessed from script" or maybe just a SetGraphicalVariable function added...

ouch! then there are a couple of variables i must remake...

thanks anyway.

you don't need to remake any variables.
and you don't need to use SetGlobalInt istead.

in cases that you have want to set a graphical variable within an
"if condition" in a script,

all you have to do is add SetGlobalInt(10, 1) to the script (where you want to set your graphical variable)
and outside the script a graphical condition (if 10 = 1)
            Set Global Variable (whatever to whatever)

thats how u can set a graphical variable from within a script...

oops

now I see that SetGraphicalVariable works fine...


ignore my last post...

Yes, graphical variables are different from global variables. They are not interchangeable.

To access graphical variables (used in the interaction editor) in script, use Get/SetGraphicalVariable.
You can't access GlobalInts (used in script) in the interaction editor.

Please don't dig up old threads.
