global variable not working bug

[Nikiwonno]

I can substitute b with u but I can't substitute a with 555? What is happening, is there something wrong with the 555 value?

Code: Select all

b::
	Send u
	Return

c:=555


function2(){

	
	global c
	Send %c%
	
}



a::

	function2()
	
	Return

No, it's a matter of script logic, and flow of execution.

The line c:=555 is currently unreachable, it never gets executed, the variable doesn't get assigned.
See auto-execute section: https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/Scripts.htm#auto

Put the line c:=555 at the top of your script, or into some subroutine which gets executed before you actually evaluate the variable.
