Global Variable

[Robert24]

Good afternoon,

Or logic is used with the below [:D]

Can someone point to a previous Forum answer for using Global Variables in scripts?
Is there an explanation with some detail?
Is there an example in the campaign game scripts?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Robert

The rescue of Mussolini uses these, as if GV 6 is between 1 and 90 he will be rescued, but if it is 91-100 then he won't be.

Another relates to the attempt to capture Dakar.

I've pasted the POP UP scripts relating to Mussolini here so you can use their example as inspiration for whatever you're cooking up! [:)]

Great stuff Bill! [:)]

I had never asked and just worked around GVs.

Would a GV function with a third script? For example…

#NAME= DE 150 III Corps Arrives In Egypt
#GV= 5[1,33]

#NAME= DE 150 III Corps Arrives In UK
#GV= 5[34-66]

#NAME= DE 150 III Corps Arrives In India
#GV= 5[67-100]

Yes, there are some like that in our WWI game. There could be more than 3 if needed. Potentially 100 in theory but I've never thought to use that many... not yet anyway! [:D]

Well, this is good news Bill - Thank you!
