Sorry if this is a dumb question, im very new to construct. So I've been trying to add a local variable under a system event, but every time I right click and go to add, there doesn't appear to be a local variable.
Based on my knowledge not all events provide the option to add a local variable. However, if you encounter one of these (such as the System > On Layout Start) what you can do is add an empty sub event (using the "B" key on your keyboard while highlighting the event you want to add a sub event to) and then right click the empty sub event. You'll find the option to Add a Local Variable available. Note that anything happening BEFORE the empty sub event will not have access to the local variable.
Thanks for the tip, it worked, and thanks for the fast reply too.
