309 Script: Set/Modify Local Variable

[Idobek]

As you would expect, opcode #309 (Script: Set/Modify Local Variable) appears to work the same as opcode (#265 Script: Modify Global Variable) does but for local variables. However, there is one major difference: #309 will also set a global variable with the same name as the local one.

 

There are stacks of typos in the descriptions for these, by the way.

Are you sure about this? This seems plain wrong.

I checked it today, before updating my local BG2 .dat file - it works as idobek describes, setting both the local and the global.

Yeh, I'm fairly sure I remember Max mentioning this once before. Pass on precisely why they decided it was a good idea.

I can confirm. I had this cause me a serious bit of confusion while testing some scripts at one point. I eventually had to change the name of the global I used because of it. (Would've been cleaner to have them the same. Cryin' shame really.)
