var.settings.local
getVar(id).settings.local() (since beta 0.3) Makes the Var element accessible only from the script of the current PennController instance (default setting). If a Var element with the same named was made global before (using .settings.global()—see above) then the Var element reverts to being local (while keeping its current value), meaning that any further Var element with …
var.settings.global
getVar(id).settings.global() (since beta 0.3) Makes the Var element accessible from the script that has not been evaluated yet (=~ all the script below .settings.global()). Note: any newVar command using the same id will be ignored if it comes further below the .global() setting command. This is particularly helpful when calling newVar in the Header, the …
