twine 2 : is there any method by which i can use a variable throughout the story

jaydee

hi, i m new to twine (and coding) my question is
1 is there any method by which i can use a variable throughout the story

for example i declared a variable in first passage but also wanted to that variable again later for calculation,displaying changed values
i m using twine 2 harlowe format

Yes.

(set: $someVar to "Yes, yes you can.")
(set: $another to 5)
(set: $oneMore to true)

The Harlowe documentation may prove useful.

thanks, for answering that
actually i asked a totally idiotic question in a wrong way
thanks for being patient

actually, i check my expressions and functions separately before incorporating into game
the thing is i wrote a variable and wanted to use that later in next passage
and then i did the stupidest thing ever i was testing that later passage and every time it resulted in zero. i wasted my whole day figuring it out. so i posted it here.

then i figured it before testing first passage(expression) i will never get the later expression as the expression is not calculated yet by the system.

so that was very "logical" mistake. LOL

thanks again for sparing your time.
