Load variable in Outro

[Ext3rmin4tor]

Is it possible to save a variable during the mission and then load it in the mission Outro? Does it work?

It might work in campaigns (saveVar probably doesn't care if you're in the intro, mission or outro), but I believe this is not something that can easily be fixed for SP. I distinctly remember that MacGuba's famous "Un-Impossible Mission" had some kind of cheat that allowed him to count the number of living/dead units left for the outro (all I remember was that he had to add and remove magazines and maybe do something with magazine counting commands...or something) - but it's very probable that whatever bug he used to do it has since been fixed.

Unless someone else can tell me otherwise, in which case: that'd be great!

But AFAIK, this isn't possible (in a single mission).

What do you need it for? Everyone knows that saving vars between mission and outro isn't something that is usually done or seen, so if there's a burning wreck of your guy is holding the "wrong" weapon, no-one is probably going to react.

Wolfrug out.

I tried a test mission, I saved a string inside a global variable called testVar, then I used saveVar "testVar" and then ended the mission with a end #1 trigger.

In the intro I used cutText [testVar, "PLAIN DOWN", 0.5] and it display correctly the variable.

EDIT: It just works in the editor preview, maybe because the editor preview is built to allow you to test campaigns and it always keeps trace of saved variables.

Has anyone tried using the copytocliboard command, It will only work with text so I'm not sure how you could extract numbers from it.  I've only tested in the editor.
