Transfer data backwards?

[Alcoholic]

ok you've got a variable local.playerheals. lets say its set to 5. its transferred to another thread, and that thread gives it another alias, and that alias is subtracted by 1. my Q is, will local.playerheals from the first thread be correctly changed?

heres an example:

Code: Select all

main:
local.playerheals = 5
thread changehealnumber local.playerheals
end

changehealnumber local.num:

local.num--
end

so will local.playerheals be subtracted by 1?

No. Both are seperate variables which by coincidence initially have the same value

your best bet to do this is to return the value in your thread, hence updating your originial variable:

Code: Select all

main: 
local.playerheals = 5 
local.playerheals = waitthread changehealnumber local.playerheals 
end 

changehealnumber local.num: 

local.num-- 
end local.num

Code changed: good point JV !

Use waitthread though

so typing "end local.num" returns the value backwards?

Yeah if you want to put it like that that is 8)
