New parameters #

  • New Trigger Mode options: Modify/Set value and Set State: Obey Use-type.
  • Initial Value is used to set the initial numeric value of the global variable.

New spawnflags #

Reaction to use-type #

  • Depending on the Trigger Mode it might ignore the input use-type and change the associated global variable state according to the selected trigger mode. Selecting Set State: Obey Use-type makes it obey the use-type.
  • If Trigger Mode is Modify/Set value it reacts as follows:
    • If use-type is Set (e.g. fired by game_counter_set or calc_eval_number) it assigns the input value to the numeric value of the associated global variable.
    • If use-type is Toggle or On it increments the numeric value of the associated global variable by 1.
    • If use-type is Off it decrements the numeric value of the associated global variable by 1.
    • In all cases if the global variable doesn’t exist yet, it gets created first with the numeric value from Initial Value.

Master capability #

If Act as Master spawnflag is enabled the entity can be used as a master. If the global state is On, then the internal state is reported as On (unlocked). Otherwise it’s Off (locked).

Calc Ratio #

When used as [LR] parameter it reports the numeric value of the global variable. See Locus system and Math.
