Predefined object references
============================

1) game
Refers to the unique game object which maintains its state across levels. Only primitive values (integers/floats/strings/vectors) will persist across levels.

2) level
Refers to the unique level object which maintains its state for the duration of a level.

3) local
Refers to the thread executing the current command.

4) parm
Refers to the unique parm object which can be used to pass parameters to new threads.
Note that any use of this variable could be coded "better" by using parameters in the creation of new threads.

5) self
Refers to the object that the thread is processing for. This object is the same for all threads in a group of threads.

6) group
Refers to the object representing the group of threads the thread executing the current command belongs to.

Hope that helps,

LOOK at the tutorials and manuals provided, they are a great resource and you only clog the forums with useless questions when you ask about an obvious detail.
