Naming conflict between local and global variables

Details:

Local variables in other event sheets can create naming conflicts with global variables.

Specs:

Intel Centrino

Construct 80.2 (32-bit)

Windows XP SP3

Steps:

1. Create EventSheet1

2. Create Group Group1

3. Create any subevent

3. Add local variable var1 to Group1

4. Create EventSheet2

5. Create global variable Var1

The name 'var1' is already used in this scope.

Notes:

I wouldn't imagine local vars and global vars are supposed to conflict since they have different scopes.

This is by design - they do conflict.

If you can add a global variable with the same name as a local variable, then imagine you typed that name somewhere in the scope of the local variable - it could refer to either! To prevent this problem, variables also cannot use the names of any variables beneath their scope.

oh right, that makes sense.

Thanks,
