another script

[crigger61]

there might already be a post of this out i didnt check but to the point.
i know u can put varibles in objects but i dont know how to change or read them in another object is it. first i am wondering is it possible for another object to read it without touching it? second i am wondering can u change those object variables by touching them? i am working on a scene for a PHUNLET that needs a varable but it cant be a scene variable

All of that's possible.

For this example the variable will be test
To create an internal variable in that objects scripting menu in the bottom there is a black space type in

Code: Select all

test := 0

To create an internal variable.
To edit this oncollide treat this variable like any other variable oncollide

Code: Select all

e.other.test = 4

Do do this with out touching use a system variable unique to that geometry create a system variable by opening the console (~) And typing in

Code: Select all

Scene.my.test := 1

To edit this oncollide is a bit different

Code: Select all

Scene.my.test = scene.my.test - 5

To make the internal variable equal to the external variable in the oncollide on the object type in

Code: Select all

e.this.test = scene.my.test

To make the external variable the same as the internal reverse the code

Code: Select all

scene.my.test = e.this.test

To do this with them touching each other

Code: Select all

e.this.test = e.other.test

If you have a phunlet that requires an external variable It is best not to use internal variable as an alternative instead create the external variable oncollide Like so

Code: Select all

scene.my.test := 1

As soon as the scene starts now scene.my.test will be created. This will generate error codes if it is hit more then once.
