True Global Variables

[Shando]

Hi Again,

One quick question.... ( I may be being dumb, but I can't seem to locate anything )

How can I implement "True" Global Vars? i.e. vars that persist across scripts?

Thanks

Shando

PS: I'm adding the script to the mesh at Runtime

Hi again,

One more question.

How can I make a Lua Table a global variable?

Do I have to set each entry as a separate variable, or is there some other way?

Basically, I need a table with approx. 1000 entries, containing 6 different values (x coord, z coord, "lush", "fissure", player, building) for each playing board location (192 in total).

Thanks

we don't have this feature yet, but we will have a look at this for the next release.
The next release could be in the next week.

You may be facing an initialising ordering issue. Each entity gets initialised onInit() in a sequential loop. At each step the system processes that entity and all of its actions. If this entitie's script references something in a script that has not yet been initialized, due to the parent entity being further along the sequence.

To get around this condition we use the postInit() event. This is only called once all of the entities have had their onInit() called.

Give this a try as it should fix your problem.
