Variables

[Lyberodoggy]

To shadowhunter or GM who know the source of AM:

Is there any Array storing the variable names and values?
Or in order to access them I need to see through a file?

EDIT: I 've found a project file named variables. I can see that there are some variable names in it... How could I load them in AM during runtime?

Hi,

Yes, there is an array that stores the variables names and values.

Here is how to access the variables of type "integer":

Code: Select all

For i = 1 To WindowObject.Variables.Count
   MsgBox "Variable name: " + WindowObject.Variables.Item(i).Name
   MsgBox "Variable value: " + CStr(WindowObject.Variables.Item(i).Value)
Next

And here is how to access the variables of type "variant":

Code: Select all

For i = 1 To WindowObject.VariablesVariant.Count
   MsgBox "Variable name: " + WindowObject.VariablesVariant.Item(i).Name
   MsgBox "Variable value: " + CStr(WindowObject.VariablesVariant.Item(i).Value)
Next

If you modify the value of some variables, the hotspots visibility should be automatically updated accordingly. However, if it does not, you can force the update by executing the following code:

Code: Select all

Action.UpdateHotspotsState

Oh this is great! Thanks!
Yes I thought there should be an array... Having seen how the rest of the engine works it's obvious.

Anyways I 'll try to use this to make the custom save/load system I 've developed a little better...

This should be included in the help file! it's just great
