About "set .varname,0;" and ".varname = 0"

[Tales]

So..., reading the docs of rathena i found something that get me confuse.

 

Athena programming says:

 

You dont need to declare a variable... If it so, whats the difference between ".set varname,0;" and "varname = 0;"

Normal Variables

As of r15982 the usage of set has become obsolete and is no longer a requirement.

You set a variable by using the command set. The format is:

• set <variable>,<value>;

or

• <variable> = <value>;

No difference, I guess. but, some would may prefer Athena-ish script, so they use set. I'm one of them.

no difference tho.

by the way, it shall be

set varname, 0;
or
set .varname,0;

not
.set varname,0;

*Update

<variable> = <value>; may be used as well, but only rAthena is compatible with this statement. eA and 3CeAM (even 3CReAM) seems not to.
