| I have made a video discussing both client and script variables, how you might create them, and how you could use them.

| HI
Are there some default client variables? Like for the last command sent (or last 3 commands)
In zmud it was %lastcom
Is there a list of all default variables?
thanx | top |

| There are no default variables, however quite a lot of functions that return things. For the last command, for example:
An argument of 1 returns the most recent command.
Look at the function list (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+L) and type "get" into the filter window to see quite a few of them.
Some of them (like GetInfo) have a selector (argument) that returns a lot of things about the current client state, such as the world file name, log file name, how many triggers have fired, and so on.

| Oh great. Thanx. GetInfo(87) works fine for me.
Now a general problem with using stuff from functions like this.
Im trying this
Send("open" GetInfo(87))
and it doesn't work. Tried moving the apostrophes and brackets all possible ways... :)
How to do it? GetInfo(87) returns "up" in my case.
Thank you | top |

| You need to read up on Lua and how it handles strings. To concatenate (join) them you use two dots, eg.
Send("open" .. GetInfo(87))
