I think you'll need to use a global variable for that.

And your English is fine. ;)

and to trace a variable, i think you'll want GetGlobalInt, theres more info in the manual, I can't post it, since im not on my home computer. And I also think your english is very good.

thanks, i thought it works like the defined ones, @overhotspot@ @scoretext@,
but that dont works with normal variables, so i have to use display instead.
access roomavariables from outside is not possible, you say.

Sure, if the game is not too long, send me a message when it's done. Just leave me some time before the deadline of the contest, so I won't have to translate the whole thing in one evening or so... ;)

thanks,
the game is short, nobody can make a very long game in 20 days (except one without a job:).
I will hurry up, and hopefully need only grammatical corretions and not a full translation.

Quotehow i can trace variables, during runtime?

Currently, there is no way to trace them with some built-in debugging mechanism, so yes using a Display() function or some sort of a debug GUI is the only possibility.

Quotecan i access a roomvariable from another room?

you can't but you can either make a use of GlobalInts as ElectricMonk suggested or declare a global variable and export it so different rooms can share it:

main global script:
int shared_var;

end of main global script:
export shared_var;

script header
import int shared_var; //thus it will be imported into every room

~Cheers
