[command] var

Sets or manipulates a local variable. Local variables are not local in the sense of being local to a scene; rather, they exist everywhere within the story, but only on the current. When the restart command is executed, local variables are deleted. If you want to have variables that remain even after the story has finished, use global insted.

Local variables are part of savegames.

Usage

Local variables can be used in line commands using the following syntax:

(( n: The value of myVar is: {$myVar} ))
