Do global variables work between worlds? - Jupiter - 08-11-2011
What I mean by this is that when you make a global variable.
for example _G.var = "hi"
could you use it in another world?
I would test this out right now but Java isn't working on my computer atm, I'm trying to fix it right now.

Well I assumed it went in the Help section but please don't post unless you have something useful to say.
Posting "Scripting section." helps me in no way.

As it is, I THINK that each World is its own seperate entity, meaning global variables are not shared. I could be wrong though.
My solution would be to have a variable object and then access it from other Worlds using getWorld.

_G variables are shared.

Does that mean if I define a global variable in the main world I can use it in a second world?
