Possibly stupid Q: Variables must be defined where?

[Sslaxx]

I can't find the original thread now (go me), but I recall it saying something along the lines that if a variable is not defined in a label, it isn't saved (as part of a save game) if its value is changed somewhere else later on.

Is this right, or have I got the wrong end of the stick here? Thanks.

Variables need to be defined in the "init" block. For example:

Code: Select all

init:
   $cheetoseaten = 0

[Sslaxx]

Hmmm. So, then, like this?

Code: Select all

init:
 define EndType = "END"

Shall keep this in mind.

Define might work too, but you probably don't need the "init" with that one, it's just stand alone. Having an init block is the way most people do it, though.

You can define variables also in the labels. Make sure to define your variables before they are used.
The save function must save the current value of your variables (I presume).
