After much testing, I determined using letters was not a good replacement for symbols so the new symbols coming in the next update for vars are:

$ = local variable

i.e.

# = global variable

~ = private variable

You will use these symbols to manipulate also.

First set creative mode.

Next lets build an exit down.

Now lets make the grill an exit.

... and have it control the exit down.

Let's make our description dynamic reflecting the changes to the grill as it happens.

We need to make grillstatus a variable. Let's make it a local.

We also need to update our status variable.

Now when you open / close the grill it will be reflected in the description as the special commands for the room name & description remain and only get processed when they are rendered.

This will also be live in the next update... coming shortly!

Alongside the nomination for the #TIGAawards in the Best Roleplaying category we have the chance for #ADLENGINE to win Game Of The Year also.

To do so we need votes....

MORE EXCITING NEWS!

when constructing commands you will soon be able to use surrounding %%'s to have the command lookup special values. You can use any number of them in a command and it will replace all before processing the command.

for example we could set up a variable:

in our command we can then do the following:

using the %s looks up the value against all the special properties including but not limited to:

• local vars
  
• global vars
  
• private vars
  
• random (value randomly rolled)
  
• chosen (value randomly picked from the choice command)

You could also assign a var to player.var or target.var and then use this as a special.

Another use could be to assign special values as part of a description. For example.

I am sure we will all be able to use this to great effect.

This will be live in the next update.

UPDATE: CHANGE OF PLANS:
$ = local
# = global
~ = private


instead of just #
you will use $ (for local)
i.e.

NEW global vars:
use (#) to set a global var..
i.e.

NEW private vars:
or (~) to set a private var...
i.e.

This will be live in the next update!

All combinations have been confirmed working, to manipulate you would need to do:

Just be aware that it also currently doesn't prevent you from creating duplicate variable names across each scope so its a good idea to use unique vars until I can address this issue at a later date.
