Transfer data backwards?

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 !

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