Each Variable type has a Declare, a Set, and a Get node. Variables must be declared to be recognized by their get and set nodes, which must use the same custom identifier and scope. See infos for all three below.
Declare Object Variable
Description
Declare an Object variable with a custom Identifier. Variable declarations do not require an event node to trigger. They are automatically performed when the node graph script is run.
Node Type
Nodes fall into two basic categories: Data and Execution. This node Executes a function when the game loads.
Inputs
Input
Type
Required
Description
Identifier
String
Yes
The custom string id for this variable.
Initial Value
Object
No
What the variable holds when the game starts.
Scope
Scope
Yes
Local scope can only be accessed within the same script brain. Global and Object can be accessed by any script brain. Object scoped variables use the Object pin, to associate the variable with an object in the game.

Get Object Variable
Description
Get the Object variable stored with the matching Identifier in the matching Scope. The Object pin is only used when accessing the Object scope.
Node Type
Nodes fall into two basic categories: Data and Execution. This node supplies Data for an Execution node.
Inputs

String
Yes
The custom string id for this variable.
Scope
Scope
Yes
Must match scope of declared variable with the same identifier.
Object

No
Used to associate variable with an object when Object scope is used.

Value
Object
Current value of this variable.
Get Object Variable Without Refresh
Description
This node works similarly to Get Object Variable. This version of the node is meant to be used with objects created through the Spawn Mode Object node, particularly when an object reference is used to make multiple copies of an object, and they are later stored as variables.
Node Type
Nodes fall into two basic categories: Data and Execution. This node supplies Data for an Execution node.

Set Object Variable
Description
Set the Object variable stored with the matching Identifier in the matching Scope. The Object pin is only used when accessing the Object scope.
Node Type
Nodes fall into two basic categories: Data and Execution. This node Executes a function directly in the node string.
