Locals are local to the function that created them.
If you call another function, they won't exist there.
They may be passed as parameters or returned as results.
There are no statics. Use globals.
As for the types, have a look at common.j and blizzard.j.
Or make a GUI trigger that uses each type once and "convert to custom text".
I'm on a page about incorrect corrections, and spent the better part of like two hours trying to get someone to understand that -5^2 = -25, not 25, and then that post had comments get reposted because that group is self sustaining, and that person was in turn trying to explain what I just explained to them. And I'm taking that as a victory
I will be AFK for a couple of days you guys hold down the fort while I am gone. I will be checking in on my phone but that will severly limit me. Be back saturday!
