How do I Add A Local variable?

Pretty self explanatory

Have you read the manual entry on this?

Oh thanks.

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or genuinely grateful, and since my advice was hardly insightful I suspect it's the former... I'm more than happy to help you understand what's in the manual - what don't you understand?

Sorry if I sounded sarcastic or condescending. Actually I reread the manual several times before you answered and figured it out myself but I didn't know what to say to you reply. Sorry again Colludium

HZGaming, your apology is accepted - thank you for that, it's really appreciated. I challenged your first question because there have been a lot more forum questions recently which seem to indicate that the manual is becoming the second port if call if a hurdle is encountered. Of course IMO, forum questions should be to find clarification of what is contained within or omitted from the manual. Although it's not a perfect source document, and I've not been here as long as many others, it's always a pleasure to offer an alternative view on how to do things - but it's not satisfying when one feels like a manual index service. So - not intended to be a rant at you but hopefully an explanation as to why I bothered to challenge you instead of just ignoring the thread.

Thank you for that Colludium Anyways I do appreciate you attempt to help me

This question is not as lazy as it sounds. And simply reading the manual doesn't fully explain it without seeing it first-hand.

The concept of needing to be nested in an Event doesn't exactly stand out, esp to new users. Since you right-click on Events and the only option is for global variables, you don't even see 'Add Local Variable' grayed out or anything. Not until you right-click on a nested Event do you see the option for adding a local variable. The manual suggests that you see the option to add a local or global whenever you right-click. I think it's a UI flaw as you should probably see 'Add Local Variable' wherever you see global, but grayed it out where it's in violation.

I remember this one stumping me a bit. It was not that straight forward, and hopefully this thread helps someone in the future.
