Boolean global and local variables?

I almost always use int just because I find that so often I end up needing more than two states. Though simple Boolean is fine for basic scenarios, I seem to almost always end up in 3+ states that need to be represented. Not that this has anything to do with the need for a Boolean type. I am bored and the meds are kicking in...

I was designing some level advancement things and a global boolean would be perfect for what I'm doing. I know I can use integers but it's easier to look at the code saying "is or is not".

Not in a hurry though, just a reminder. Something tells me that regardless of it's low priority it wouldn't be too hard to put it in.

Thanks!

Another reminder for global booleans. Thanks!

Is global booleans being worked on yet? Or has this ship sailed?

For people trying to do booleans for right now here's two methods...

Method A:

If myVariable = 0 (IF FALSE)

If myVariable = 1 (IF TRUE)

Set myVariable = 1 - myVariable (TOGGLE BOOLEAN BETWEEN 1 AND 0)

Set myVariable = 0 (FALSE)

Set myVariable = 1 (TRUE)

Method B:

If myVariable = -1 (IF FALSE)

If myVariable = 1 (IF TRUE)

Set myVariable = myVariable * -1 (TOGGLE BOOLEAN BETWEEN 1 AND -1)

Set myVariable = -1 (FALSE)

Set myVariable = 1 (TRUE)

Set myVariable = 1 (TRUE)

Even easeir

myVariable = 0

X myVariable = 0

Toggle:

Set MyVariable = (MyVariable + 1) % 2

Normal use, just set it to 1 or 0....

Although not intuitive, there are bigger things that the editor/engine needs IMO.

easy method then variables just ad a sprite(can be you play button, main actor, a text something that stays on screen always and u don't destroy it ) and create a boolean for it , and make that sprite global now u have global boolean's ....... works for me , just i'm not using global boleans never needed one

Good idea, are global sprites limited in any way that global variables aren't or are they all exactly the same?

Necrobump!

I'm just starting out with C2 and noticed this immediately (while implementing a work around for touch triggers firing ~simultaneously). Please address.

* bump *

Yes we can do booleans with numbers, but it's not the same

i agree... integers take 4 bytes, bools 1 bit

We have 2016 and it's still not implemented.

Also just realised they are not there :'(

Would it be an issue for it to be rolled out for a quick update?
