Zugg Software :: View topic - #var makes duplicates an existing variable into root folder

Hi there,

to change the value of a variable i use #var varbiablename 1 and sometimes for no reason at all it will make a new variable in the root folder with that name. Sometimes i get conflicts in my system because it's looking up the wrong variable and so on. Does anyone know how to specify where the variable is for #var or how to get aroundt this?

Thanks

Looking at the help for #VARIABLE we find the full syntax can be used for what you want.
#VARIABLE name {value} {default value or _nodef} "class"

You can also use the class character (default of /) in the name, this should be findable from the help.
#VARIABLE ./class/subclass/name {value}

Thanks, that worked. Only one problem.
I changed a #var to the #var ClassFolder/ClassSubfolder/VariableName 1 and now a Button which was linked to toggle up or down with the VariableName won't toggle up or down anymore. Know why?

You likely have a duplicate of the variable someplace else.
