(S) Strange Problem with Local Variables

(Solved) Hey, I seem to have some strange problem with the local variables in my project...

If I write a simple code like this (in a new project, on R239, R244 and R247), the variable freezes at 0.1...

...but when I turn it into a global variable, it works as expected...

I'm posting this here (and not reporting it as a bug yet) because I have had some strange small problems like these with my computer in multiple programs and I wanted to make sure it wasn't just my Pc first.

So, does this happen to you guys too, or is it just me?

That's how local variables work. They only have scope locally - that is, within "Group". As soon as you leave "Group", it's gone, so it's starting at zero again, and only set to 0.1 every 0.1 seconds. You can make it 'static' to get the behaviour you want, but that's pretty much the same as making global.

blackhornet So it resets every tick?

If it does, did this change happen recently? I remember using local vars to store information before...

It's always been this way.
