Is there a way of sharing variables between 2 characters? (Both operated by the same player)

You mean both on your copy of MUSHclient but in different worlds? Yes, that is easy. :)

You need to get an "object reference" to the other world, and then use it to get or set variables. Here is a code snippet to illustrate the idea ...



dim otherworld

dim hp



  set otherworld = world.getworld ("world2")



  if otherworld is nothing then

    world.note "World world2 is not open"

    exit sub

  end if



  hp = otherworld.getvariable ("hp")

In this example "world2" is the second character, the "getworld" line gets a reference to it into the "otherworld" variable. Then you can use "otherworld.getvariable" to get the variable contents.

Of course, you can then use anything else (eg. setvariable, note etc.) on the other world.



otherworld.note "Hi there"
