Changing Global Variable Not Working! Topic is solved

[A random guy]

Sorry for being so stupid, but why doesnt this script work!!?? I making it so the script displays a message when lol = 1. When the script gets i message from a another script then i want it to change the variable to whatever the Wparam is.

Code: Select all

Lol = 0
OnMessage(0x5577, "Test")
Loop
{
if Lol = 1
{
msgbox, 4144, test, test
}
}

Test(wParam)
{
Lol := %Wparam%
}

The Test() function has it's own scope.
Lol is in the global scope.

Either declare Lol as global in Test (Which will allow test to see outside it's own scope to the global version of test)

Code: Select all

Test(wParam)
{
global Lol
Lol := %Wparam%
}

or make Lol "Super Global"
As Lol is already global, prefixing it with global makes it super global, meaning it can be seen from everywhere
global Lol = 0

Sorry but that doesnt work. It stills sets it as a local variable for test

Ok I Got it! I had to change Lol := %wParam% to Lol = %wParam% and now it works perfectly

Yeah, Lol := %wParam% is saying "Set Lol to the value of the variable whose NAME is stored in wParam.

Simpler would be: Lol := wParam
