Is this really not supposed to work?
It sometimes works, but it's not legal syntax.
I don't know of any particular reason why not, but it's not.
They must have changed it when you and I weren't looking. Variable
assignments are even listed in the examples in the dictionary entry for
"local". I may have to read the whole dictionary again to see what else
I've missed.
I may also have found a clue to disappearing locals. The same entry says
this: "If variable preservation is turned on, script locals retain their
values when the script is re-compiled, unless there is an error in the
script."
I'm quite sure I've produced enough errors to have destroyed a few
script locals in my time, so maybe that's what's wrong. I'll try to pay
more attention.
