You may optionally follow the variable with an equals sign and an expression (in a function) or value (in a script) to initialize the variable with that value on the same line. If you do not give it an initial value, then it will start with a [[Default Value Reference|default value]]. | You may optionally follow the variable with an equals sign and an expression (in a function) or value (in a script) to initialize the variable with that value on the same line.

If a variable is declared outside of a function or event, it can only be initialised as a [[Literals_Reference|literal]].

Variables in scripts do not have to be defined before use, but variables inside functions do. Variables defined in scripts may have [[Flag Reference|flags]]. | Variables in scripts do not have to be defined before use, but variables inside functions do.
