Can I set variables global to The World?

[Wonderlarr]

Is there a way I can set a variable bound to the world? I need items from different characters to be able to modify a variable, lets say one player uses the item, and the variable for the world increments from 0 to 1, and if another player uses the item, it goes from 1 to 2.

Sorry for the short and undetailed question I'm extremely tired after 8 hours of work + another 6 of amateur development.

Yeah, you can do this

Like, lets suppose you have a variable "var" that initially is 0

You can set
TheWorld.var=0

and in the item you can write
TheWorld.var=TheWorld.var+1

The only problem with this is the initial declaration, that can be done this way in modmain

AddPrefabPostInit("world",function(inst)
    inst.var=0
end)

This works almost perfect for what I need to do, thank you! I guess since it's declared in modmain though, I need to make sure the ability can't be already being used when the world is saved.
