- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 The value of these variables can change during the game. Reading them from a switch block (which reads the current value) may result in a different value than in the rest of the code (which is evaluated when the game is loaded).
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 These variables can be written as well as read. Use a normal assignment, for example:
traininfo_y_offset = -2;
