Valid values

  • A global variable number from 0 to 49. A number outside that range does nothing.
Caveats
  • Clearing a global that is already clear has no effect. Globals start each scenario clear, except those a [campaign carries over](/systems/campaign-progression/) from the previous mission.
  • Clearing a global that was set restarts the countdown of every trigger that has an Elapsed Time... or Random delay... event and a Global is set... or Global is clear... event naming that global.
  • Globals 0 and 1 also steer a campaign. A global 1 that is clear when a [SkipMapSelect=yes](/keys/skipmapselect/) mission is won sends the campaign to [NextScenario](/keys/nextscenario/), not [AltNextScenario](/keys/altnextscenario/). A global 0 that is clear when the mission is won opens the next mission's view at [HomeCell](/keys/homecell/), not [AltHomeCell](/keys/althomecell/). [Campaign progression](/systems/campaign-progression/#what-survives-the-boundary) covers both.
  • The [VariableNames] section of the rules labels globals by number. The label has no effect in the game, and the action always uses the number.
