What do these things do

[pnvv]

I hope someone with more knowledge of Thyme can help me with this. I was digging into someone's code and I came across this weird thing which I don't know what it is. I thought they were local vars but they must not be because they dont have the _ in front of them.

Here's a picture for better understanding

Maybe those are variables, some guys did that..

They'll be local vars, Basically, only variables starting with _ are serialised upon saving, here we have := which sorta also forces the variable to be created if it doesn't exist, hence removing the need to serialise them into the scene file;

Ah, ok. I get it now, thanks guys.

Global variables are usually prefixed with _ to make them permanent. Local var's are created by writing any word or name in front of an '=', they will then be usable until scope they've been created in expires.

Don't confuse people! _ is just serialized and saved with scene variables, it's not related with scope. Local variables creates inside { } with := and they not visible outside. Also you could create variabls in object's scope, for example inside box object event e.this.a := 1 (will be removed after reload) or e.this._a := 1 (will be saved with scene).

Yeah, like I said, _ makes it permanent(saved by scene), while without _ it is local and this way only temporary, and also not accessible everywhere. Of course I don't want to confuse people but I am coding java in my freetime, so excuse if I use the incorrect words

You still misunderstand or incorrectly describe. Variables with _ is local too. There is no difference between code {a:=1; b:=1, a+b} and {_a:=1; _b:=1, _a+_b}. The only difference is _variable in object will be serialized and saved.
