Category:Gamevar manipulation

A gamevar is a game variable that can be used to store numerical data which can then be referenced between actors.

The syntax for defining a gamevar is 'gamevar <varname> <value> <flags>'

A gamevar's flags determine how it is referenced by the game. A gamevar with flags of 0 is known as a global variable. A global variable exists once in the code, and any time a global variable is set, the new value is seen by all actors. A gamevar with flags of 1 is a per-player variable. Per-player variables exist once per player in the game, with each player having their own copy of the variable. A gamevar with flags of 2 is a per-actor variable. A per-actor variable exists as many times in the code as there are sprites in the map. Each sprite has its own copy of a per-actor variable in memory.

All of the commands in this category are commands that alter the value of one or more gamevars in some way, as opposed to commands which alter sprites, sectors or walls.
