Custom Variables

In order to have flexibility in configuration you can set custom variable key/value pair to any item. The possible use cases are for example setting a running speed to your character or some other value that should later be used in code to affect item behaviour.

When you have a variable set to an item from the editor, it's easy to retrieve it, given your item has id or tag to find it.

    var car = sl.getRoot().getChild("car");
    var carSpeed = Std.parseInt(car.getCoreData().getVar("speed"));
