| This was added to CW4 as an attempt to give a similar API to what was in CW3. Messaging is likely the better option in most cases. | This was added to CW4 as an attempt to give a similar API to what was in CW3. [[|Messaging]] is likely the better option in most cases. |

| This works a lot like messaging. There is a global map and RegisterScript adds an entry into that map with the name you specify and the script it is called from. So it stores a named reference to a script instance in a global map, Get/SetRegiseredScriptVar looks up that instance in the map and then Gets/Sets a var on it. So if you have a Foo script attached to Unit A and Foo calls RegisterScript("AName"), that will be a problem if another instance of Unit A runs Foo and it does the same thing. So Foo would more likely call RegisterScript("AName:" self concat) or something like that. And the only reason it would ever call RegisterScript would be so some other script could get/set some variable on it | This works a lot like messaging.
