Hi,

Where do I declare global variables at? Not sure what file to do this in.

Thanks in advance.

Torquescript doesn't have variable declaration. You "declare" them whenever you use them for the first time.

I understand that Torque "declares" them when they are used, but the problem I have is I end up with globals scattered around the various script files and it makes it impossible to find them (if I want to change their default, initialization value for example). What I do is create a script file named "globals.cs" in /scripts/server. In this file I put all of my global values and a good comment so I remember what they do. Then I put 'exec("./globals.cs");' in /scripts/server/scriptExec.cs. I'm not sure if this would be considered bad practice in Torquescript, but it helps me keep stuff organized.
