Reserved Variable

[DeusRich]

ok, I hardly know any reserved variables, and I hate the line 'reserved variable in expression' so  invite everyone to put any reserved vars in here. The only two i know are:
_time       = time since script started
_player     = player unit

hmmm, if there are already some of these posts sorry because i searched and i thought this would be useful so dont kill me... :beat:

The ones you cant use are the names already given to units, actions, animations, and scripting commands.

So you cant call your parachute guy "para" because that name is already given to the animation name for parachuting.  Similarly you cant call your variable _distance because that is a scripting command.

In all in all there are hundreds of reserved variables, all of which are names or commands already in the game.

Which is why _time and _player can't be used. Those are script commands as well.

and _time is the time since the beginning of the script execution, it seems.

So if time returns the elapsed time in seconds since the mission began, it makes sense to me that the local variant _time would be elapsed time since script began. Is this the case?

Emm...Yes, yes it is.
