but there's various things that there are 2 methods, depending on scripting style/preference
such as, for example you can use 2 methods for variables..
var %this = that
%this = that
var and the
%varname = value syntax do not do the same thing.
var declares variables as local and allows multiple variables to be created at once.
%varname = value can only assign one variable and uses the same scoping rules as
set (ie. the variable will be global unless previously declared as local by
var).
%varname = value is also faster than
var (presumably at least in part because of having less capabilities).
