Geschrieben 24. September 20168 J I set an object variable for severa; trains (Camera). It shows in the EV with the correct value. I read the name of a loco with $_Trigger1._Name. I store that name in a global variable. Can I now read the name of the camera for that train, and tell the EV to activate that camera?

Geschrieben 24. September 20168 J Hello Trevor, you are quite right. Even you can avoid the parantheses here. But the aim of the example above was to explain how different variations of global and object variables may be used to buffer and later evaluate some object properties. See here the optimized example (without "buffer variables"). Using loco object variables directly.mbp Many greetings BahnLand Bearbeitet 24. September 20168 J von BahnLand

However, it is generally bad practice to use global variables if you do not have to. On a simple layout you might get away with it, but the more things you have happening the more opportunity there is for multiple objects to be referencing the same variable at the same time with unpredictable results.
