could some one explain "set local var" &

[Kailric]

Could someone explain just how the "set local varable" and "set global varable" commands work...thanks!

set local/global var are interface functions to be able to set persistent variables. global is of course with global scope (accessible from anywhere) and local is for current object (ship).

the name of the local/global variable is just a string with the vars name.

to set values:
set global variable: name='my.global.varname' value=5
set local variable: name='my.local.varname' value=2

to get values:
$myvar = get global variable: name='my.global.varname'
$myvar2 = get local variable: name='my.local.variable'

what to use them for?
you can use them like options, i.e. set a global variable 'logging' to true/false and have all your scripts read this var to see if they should write messages to player logbook.

Yeah, thats it..i just wondered if the set local varable was for the current object or the sector or something else. So I can set a varable for an object and that varable will always stay with the object until it is destroyed right?
