Script Context

Every .lua script runs in isolation of every other .lua script. This means that each script has no knowledge of the other, and all variables are completely isolated.

For example, if you declare a non-local variable in one script:

-- resources/test/client/main.lua

MyGlobalVar = 1

Another script in the same resource (or any other resource) cannot access it:

-- resources/test/client/main2.lua

print(tostring(MyGlobalVar)) -- Prints "nil"

If you want to share static data and functionality between scripts (eg. in the example above), you can use Modules. If you want to share dynamic data between scripts at runtime, such as telling a script to add one to a counter when a user does an action, you can use Events.
