Local Variable Problem
|
I am trying to make an alias to switch out a shield that has the same name but different properties so that every time I type the alias, lets call it shield, it will switch back and forth between them. Now this can be done pretty easily like this:
#var isOn;
#al Shield {#if (isOn==1) {get thisShield bag;wear thisShield;put otherShield Bag;isOn=0} {get otherShield Bag;wear otherShield;put thisShield bag;isOn=1} }
Now that works fine. What I don't know is how a local variable could be used to accomplish the same task. I don't know how one would go about this - can anyone help? |

If you are thinking about using a local variable in the place of isOn it will not work sorry.

Arminas is right. Local variables are only valid for the current script. They're useful for times when, in the past, you'd use a variable called @temp or something.
In this case, you want a value to be stored once the script's finished running, so the script can test it next time. And local variables are lost once the script stops running. |
