Sets a local location variable on an object.
- Parameters:
- oObject
- Object to set the variable on
- sVarName
- The name of the variable to set
- lValue
- The value of the location variable
- Returns:
- Nothing.
- Source:
- script.ldf
Description
Sets a local location variable sVarName on the specified object.
Remarks
All local variables must be predefined in the target object's variables 2da file before this function can be used successfully. If a local variable is not predefined this function will fail silently.
NOTE! This type of local variable is not saved/loaded via the save system. So, if a community member or designer wants to save information like this for use later, and someone saves/loads the game, that information is lost forever. Thus, using them outside of situations where you can guarantee no save/load occurs (i.e. during combat) is pretty much guaranteed to fail for some enduser. Furthermore, if you use these variable types in the var_ 2DAs, it will fail gloriously.
Don’t use this function. It will in all likelihood be removed in a future patch.
