Valkyrie Variables

Variables

Valkyrie editor allows to set variables. Furthermore there is a set of built-in variables that you can use.

Quest Variables

Quest variables start with a roman letter and are used within a quest only.

Campaign Variables

Campaign Variables start with a %. They work just like quest variables, except that they are not cleared when changing to a new quest.

Trigger Vars

Trigger vars start with a @. They can be used to trigger an event by setting to 1 and are then set to 0 automatically.

Written by Valkyrie

In order to use these built-in variables in a text you need to assign them to another variable first and then link this variable in your text (e.g. {var:%MyVariableName}.

These variables are read only and start with #

• #rand<number>: A random integer from 1 to <number> inclusive, which is calculated each time it is used (e.g. #rand8)
• #round: The round number
• #monsters: Number of Monsters (Spawns) present
• #heroes: Number of Heroes selected
• #eliminated:
  • 0: No investigators have been marked as eliminated
  • 1: An investigator has been marked as eliminated
• #<content>: Set for all content packs by id
  • 0: Content pack is not enabled
  • 1: Content pack is enabled
• #Hero<hero>: Set to one if a specific hero/investigator has been selected for the quest (e.g. HeroWidowTarha). (Format 8+)
• #Class<class>: Set if class is present (Format 8+)
