Variables
From NWN Lexicon
Jump to navigationJump to searchVariables are used to represent unknowns, that is, something we don't know the value of when writing a procedure. Variables are what allow us to perform complex mathematical calculations, write multi-purpose functions, and do a large variety of things.
Variables can be declared and initialized on the same line. Initializing a variable ensures that it has a default value.
void main()
{
int nHours; // declared
nHours = GetTimeHour() + 4; // initialized
// the below vector is declared and initialized
vector vPosition = Vector(1.0f, 2.0f, 86.3f);
}
{
int nHours; // declared
nHours = GetTimeHour() + 4; // initialized
// the below vector is declared and initialized
vector vPosition = Vector(1.0f, 2.0f, 86.3f);
}
