Hi,
yes, the naming is confusing, I agree.
-- you can access *ALL* fsm local variables, from anywhere. simply use actions like "Get/Set Fsm XXX"
-- you can not turn a local variable into a global variable, use the "global variables" window to manage global variables.
-- global variables, are infact static variables, you are right. they can be accessed by anything, anywhere.
Does that help getting a clearer picture?
bye,
Jean
