Maybe the original question was partially answered, but i'll ask anyway, for my own understanding : why would you want to change the value of a certain variable through a setter function ? Or were you just wondering if it was possible to do so ?

That still doesn't seem to be working... I'm testing it in the local console of Zerobrane Studio
To be specific I'm trying to do a function like this
Code: Select all
function returntobase(val,i,base)
if val > base then
if val - i < base then
val = base
else
val = val - i
end
elseif val < base then
if val + i > base then
val = base
else
val = val + i
end
end
end
val is going to be a field of a table

Just return the desired variable in the function.
Code: Select all
x = 5
print(x) --5
x = setvar(x)
print(x) --10
function setvar(z)
z = 10
return z
end
