function test()
global a
endfunction


You are better off declaring globals at the beginning of your program. Its not really a great idea to declare them at random locations through out your code, because that will make it harder to debug later.

There must be some way to get a function to alter an variable outside of the function.

But, as you are using DBC, you have to have DarkEDIT, and turn on the extended syntax commands in the options menu. Specifically the one that says "Globals", lol.

You have to do this, as DBC doesn't natively have globals, and DarkEDIT converts all instances of that global variable to an array so that it is global.

The message is a popup by DarkEDIT telling you that it has converted all of your Global commands to array's. You can't get rid on it unfortunatly.
