I'm wanting to keep my defenses in Data Record type variable like this.

@Insomnia.State
@Insomnia.Desire
@Insomnia.AnotherRecord
@Insomnia.StillAnother
etc.

How can I enter a default value for these. I need to have .State and .Desire set to 0 when ever I startup.

I tried putting State=0|Desire=0 and some variations of that but that didn't seem to work.

I've noticed that you need to do "#VAR yourVar.dataField value" if you want to set those fields. So, instead of "@status = A" do "#VAR status A".

After that its ABC, put the two lines below in your atconnect alias and your set.

#VAR Insomnia.state 0
#VAR Insomnia.desire 0

Thanks for input, but doing the

#VAR Insomnia.state 0
#VAR Insomnia.desire 0

in an alias called by atconnect is what i'm doing now. It's cubersome because there are 8 fields in each variable and 30+ variables. Plus using the Atconnect dosen't run automaticly when i'm working offline.

I was looking for a way to set up default values like you can for normal variables, by filling in the "Default:" Edit box.

I think the default setting is for single string variables.. maybe there is an option but I don't know about it, sorry :)

Create the variable with the desired default values. Then use the following command, at the command line, to insert those values to the Default field.
#VAR Insomnia {@Insomnia} {@Insomnia}

Thanks Lightbulb! That did the trick.

I was hoping someone would know, and i figured if anyone did, you would. I have seen you use alot of record variables in your posts. That's acually what gave me the idea for using them. Wink

And they work great.
