Proper variable type for instances?

[michaelsoftman]

So, quick question.

Say I have an instance map, with 5 mobs, all with the same OnMobDead: label.

 

I want to have a variable that keeps count of the dead mobs, something like this:

 

OnMobDead:

set mobdead,mobdead+1;

if (mobdead > 4) {

etc etc...

 

But I was just wondering what the proper type of variable is to use for this, since it's an instance?  Would it just be an NPC variable, like .@mobdead?

NPC variables (.var) are shared across all duplicate NPCs, so they'll be set in every instance. This is rarely what you want.

If mobcount() won't work for you, you can try using instance variables ('var) to store data, but be sure to initialize them as necessary - they won't be reset when executing @reloadscript.
