Seasons Greepings!
Quote: In the hour or so between my previous comment and now, I suddenly thought of a possible glitch having to do with v1413, and made another change to TroopSchool and re-uploaded. I apologize to anyone who downloaded it between then and now. Nothing too terrible will happen with the previous script, but there is a possible case in which the starting message about Ginko's Training Academy might not be shown.
In looking for unused Claimed variables I noticed some variables used in WoG scripts which are not in the ERM Help List of the Claimed, so I will be adding them to the updated ERM Help at box.com in a day or two.
Cool, thanks. That "Claimed" list had a few different caretakers in it's WoG-time but was always tricky to keep 100% accurate. The negative numbers functions (local to a particular script only) were added in the early 3.59 beta, which would have helped a bit and I suspect local script-only variables might eventually have been implemented too, if possible (or certainly requested!).
Really, the number of truly global variables needed for scripts is relatively low. Certainly they're handy but more as a special case than the norm as most scripts don't need to share much info with other scripts--probably none for some of them and maybe 1-3 for most others with only a small minority needing more.
If this hasn't already been addressed in any other post-WoG 3.58f version, hopefully VCMI would be able to add it as this would make it a lot easier to mix and match and add new scripts (once all the variables are replaced).

Perhaps they're afraid to see you naked?
