mushclient global variable assignment on connect

How do I initialise a global variable on connection?

I understand there is a global script defined in 'Scripts' as "External Script File".

I've defined a function in there called onLoad().

I've named this function in the "World Events - Connect".

However, when I am logged in I test my variable and it still says undefined.

This is my onLoad function...

function onLoad()

boolInCombat = false

end

What I did was set my function to load on the text "Password correct. Welcome to Achaea." That fires onLoad() which assigns all the variables.

This has been resolved.

Global variables can be declared in the script referenced as 'External Script File' before any function declarations.
