passing local variables from function to function

jardragon901	Can someone help me, I have been trying to pass my local unit variable "hero" from one function to the next function, how would I do this without using globals?

Depends on how you are calling the function.
If it is a normal call, you do like this:

Code:

function Foo takes integer a returns nothing
    // Do something with the local integer 'a'
endfunction
function Bar takes nothing returns nothing
    local integer a = 15
    call Foo(a) // Pass it as a parameter
endfunction

However, if you are using it as a callback in a ForGroup for example, you cannot use parameters.
In that case you must either use globals or the gamecache.

Thank you so much, that was a big help :D .
