→Notes:: I discovered ( via a nast bug ) that globals will always act as floats ( within scripts, at least ). I ran a seperate experiment to verify the claims made in the edit.

* In almost all cases, using a global variable is unnecessary. Variables defined in quest scripts are generally used instead, and accessed via '''questID.varName''', or '''getQuestVariable questID varName'''. | * In almost all cases, using a global variable is unnecessary.

* It seems that, when used in scripts, global variables always act as floats regardless of what you declare them as. This could cause issues in situations such as: | |||
set giCoinToss to GetRandomPercent / 50 ;giCionToss is a global short | |||
if( giCionToss == 1 ) | |||
;do result for heads | |||
else | |||
;do result for tails | |||
endif | |||
In the above situation, the only time the heads result code will run is when GetRandomPercent returns exactly 50. | |||
Variables declared in quest scripts will behave as declared and thus are safe to use in situations like the above. | |||
