Object Variables

Object Variables are variables that belong to one object, like a self switch: a door's open, a chest's looted, an NPC's talkedTo. The object's own actions use them as self.name. Every copy of the object keeps its own value, so ten chests built from one design each remember being opened.

Adding them

Choose Add Component ▸ Object Variables. A Bool variable named var1 appears on a new Object Variables card. Click + variable for more.

Settings

Each row is one variable:

Setting	What it does
Name	The variable's name. This object's actions use it as self. plus the name. Spaces become underscores.
Bool / Number	What kind of value it holds.
Start value	A checkbox for a Bool (ticked starts it true), or a number box for a Number.
✕	Removes that variable.
+ variable	Adds another one.

Using them

In any variable box on this object (an action, an only if check, a binding), they're listed under This object. For example, on a chest:

1. Add an Object Variable looted, Bool, unticked.
2. In the chest's actions, give the reward actions an only if of self.looted is false.
3. Add a Set a variable action at the end that sets self.looted to true.

Show one in text with Bind Text, like Talked {self.timesTalked} times.

Good to know

• Only this object can use them. Other objects can't reach self. values.
• They keep their value for the whole run, like a project variable, so an opened door stays open when you leave the screen and come back.
• Renaming one updates this object's own actions that use it.
• The card only shows when one object is selected.
• Works in Game and App projects on both watches. Not offered on watch faces.
