Declare variables within an Event

[shazzner]

I'm working on a game that uses a lot of dynamic dialogic event generation. In it, I could use the ability to declare variables for short script checks, as opposed to declaring them in the editor and saving them locally.

An example of this would be:

var {Looked} = false
You enter.
label actions
- look
    if {Looked} == true:
        This instead.
        jump actions
    You look around...
    set {Looked} = true
    jump actions
- leave
    You leave the area...
    jump exit
label exit

In that Looked is declared and checked if the player chose an option a second time.

The way I do it currently is to declare a bunch of generic variables then reuse them throughout out my events, but I think it would make more sense for the script to just handle this dynamically.

This also means once the variable goes out of scope (ie the Event ends), then that variable can no longer be used.
