Description

Description:

Disables the implicit inheritance of local variables, as defined in the parent scope.
By default, any local variables defined in a parent scope are available to the lower scope code.
After using privateAll, parent scope variables can no longer be accessed implicitly. However, it is still possible to explicitly access parent scope variables using the import command.

Examples

Example 1:

_a = 1; _b = 2; _c = 3; 4 call { // _a, _b and _c from the parent scope are accessible at this point systemChat str [_a, _b, _c]; // prints [1, 2, 3] privateAll; // _a, _b and _c from the parent scope can no longer be accessed systemChat str [_a, _b, _c]; // prints [Any, Any, Any] import ["_a", "_b"]; // _a and _b are now defined as private variables in the current scope; _c is still not defined systemChat str [_a, _b, _c, _this]; // prints [1, 2, Any, 4] _a = _a + 1; // changes the private _a variable in the current scope, but doesn't change the parent scope _a }; systemChat str _a; // _a is still 1
