 ===== Description =====
-Defines an input variable named **VAR **with a default value of **VAL**. Input variables will show up in a unit's Script Settings when selected in the editor and though that can be given a value different from the default value assigned by the script itself.
+Input variables must start with a $ sign and be placed before any of the actual code in a script. They define a variable named **VAR **with a default value of **VAL** which may be of type int, float or string.
-Input variables are created at script start and assigned either the default value, or a value specified in the editor. Input variables must start with a $ sign.
+Input variables will show up in a unit's Script Settings when selected in the editor, this allows the editor to place the unit with a different value than the default specified in the script itself, but also allows the the value to be changed at any moment in time.
-=== Examples ===
+Input variables are created at the same time as the unit itself (even if the game is paused and the script hasn't executed once) and assigned either the default value **VAL** (which may be overwritten if the initParams of a CreateUnit call specify it), or a value specified in the editor through the Script Settings.
+===== Examples =====
 <code 4rpl>
+# input vars go at the top of a script, before the actual code
 $amt:1
 $text:"abc"
