How to make a general variable?

[Mounty]

Question: I'm trying to make my own adventure game, however, i would like to make a string that keeps counting in all rooms and to which i can add or subtract points from (eg. with ++). where should i put this string and how can i acces it inside every room.

thanks,
Mounty

BFAQ: Working with variables, the basics

What you actually want is an int - strings are for words, not numbers. Also, if you're using version 2.7 or earlier, note that strings can't be made global, use the Get/SetGlobalString commands instead. (In v27.1 there's the Game.GlobalStrings property, but Strings can also be imported/exported.)
