Variables for a layer or a group

Hi,

I'd like to make a suggestion or maybe there is even already a solution for my problem.

Since I'm working on a huge project I use a lot of global variables. I try to use as many local variables as possible, but I just need most of them in different events.

It would be just awesome if there is a possibility to define instance variables for Layers or local variables for Groups.

Putting a Local Variable inside a group at the very top will make that variable work throughout that group :P

Hm when I try this it always stucks to the first event of the group.

Thanks for your efforts but it's not working properly for me :(

Indeed I can access the variable in the whole group but it resets every time I call an event of the group.

Then check the Static checkbox in the variable. Manual article

Now it's working! Perfect, thanks a lot!
