======Set Global Property======
----

Sets a custom [[global_properties|global property]] to the specified value. This property can then be referenced elsewhere, for example when evaluating a condition. When editing this function in the [[Script Editor]], the [[Variable Expression Builder]] provides an easy way to choose which value you'd like to assign to the property. These properties can also be given values via [[script_syntax|assignment statements]] (i.e. the "Assign Value" visual [[script]] node) or even pre-defined with initial startup values from the [[Global Properties]] tab in your [[Game Configuration]].
