Using variables in seperate windows.
|
Is it possible to use a variable from my main session in other windows?
I've been trying but it does not read them. |

Yes it is possible.
The easiest method is to create a module to store any variables that will be used in other windows.
Technically you could use the long variable reference syntax... but I always forget how it goes. |

I figured out a way:
From my main window I can:
| Code: |
#EXEC WindowName:#VAR Name Value
|
The window in question contains a list of all characters online, I have a script that runs a %replaceitem to colourcode different people, depending what variable they are assigned too - but it is very messy and slow.
My plan is to make this trigger in the window:
| Code: |
#TRIGGER {@Varaible} {#CW Colour}
|
But it isn't working :(
Any ideas? |

when using a variable list in a trigger pattern, it needs to be enclosed in its own set of curly braces
#TR {{@VAR}} {#CW color}
By the by, this is the exact reason i use a module in my own play.
I put the trigger in there as well, and then it works in all windows, instead of needing to be repeated in each. |
