I haven't had any need for variables so far, as the scripts work fine without them. However, after looking at some of JV's scripts, can variables be set as say...

variables;
i == get_flag(4,1);
j == char_has_trait(get_memory_cell(4),12);
k == get_spell_level(get_memory_cell(4),0,7);
Thanks

Close. Only one equals sign is used when assigning variables, and each line of integer variables requires a short before initialization.

So it'd look more like this:
variables;
short i = get_flag(4,1);
short j = char_has_trait(get_memory_cell(4),12);
short k = get_spell_level(get_memory_cell(4),0,7);

Yes, they definitely can be set to things like that. However, there's a few things that need to be fixed...

variables;
short i = get_flag(4,1);
short j = char_has_trait(get_memory_cell(4),12);
short k = get_spell_level(get_memory_cell(4),0,7);
Each numeric variable needs to have 'short' before it. Also, when defining a variable, you just use one '='. The symbol '==' tells the game to check if, say, variable i is equal to the value of flag (4,1).

EDIT: Curse you, Nioca!

Alright, I have a question now, regarding the variable's data type. You both mentioned short, but I've seen short and int used interchangeably (I think). Is there a difference between the uses of the two?

Thank you, thought I recently discovered using Jeff's variables makes dialog boxes much easier to script.

In Avernumscript, does 'short' basically mean 'short int'? And is it signed?

Yes, and probably.
