[1.24] Invalid Local Variable?
 
I've had this happen a bunch, and I haven't figured out why yet.

I'll create a new trigger, such as...

has a partially damaged ($side:%w) ($limb:%w).

then, I'll try to use $side in the script.

#var %concat($side,$limb) damaged

Only to have the syntax checker report that

"Invalid Local Variable side at row 0 col 13"

Any idea what's wrong? It's working fine for $limb, and I don't see any differences between them. Is $side a reserved name? I've had this happen with $h and $m before, as well as $s.

I've seen the same thing happen. Sometimes when local variables are declared implicitly (i.e., not defined with #LOCAL), CMUD gives you an error when it shouldn't. I'm sure it will be remedied soon.

Never had it happen in localvars defined in the trigger pattern (thankfully) but I have had it happen with $localvar=value. Bit easier to remedy with the #local command in that situation.

The problem is that the #VAR command is currently not handling indirect variable assignment at all. This is on the bug list.
