How do I edit a global variable from within a function?

Is it possible to edit a variable from inside a function?

I haven't had any luck testing this out. I just had a simple function that needs to change and external variable. I am guessing this isn't in the scope of a function.

Thank you very much in advance.

I do it all the time in C2. It should work fine unless something changed in C3. I can’t find any info of such a change.

I don’t agree with the lack of safety though. Things are run in order and the global will only change when you tell it to.

Are you sure the variable is global?

Are you sure the variable isn't set to constant?

Of course you can set a global variable inside a function. The whole purpose of global variables is you can access them anywhere. If you don't see it, it's probably not a global variable, or is set to be constant.

Thanks for the replies everyone. My code was getting gross and messy and I just rewrote it better. I must have had it set to static? I also need to learn more elegant ways of using Construct. :) I am still bashing around until things work. hahaha

cheers.

If it's in a group or a sub-event it will say local instead of global. Making it static will make it behave like a global.
