Notes

Returns Nothing if the variable doesn't exists.
Returns Anything if the object is undefined.
There is a third parameter of type Boolean that when set to True makes the variable global. If a variable was set on a playable unit, even with and AI disabled the variable will be present when a JIP player controls the same unit.
