Variable not printable in second run

[mowgli]

I made a simple track race NPC with the following script:

=Start
:set myname=Theo
:if (isSet(@[playername]@.start)) then goto zeit3
Hallo @[playername]@
>name:Wer bist Du?
>zweck:Was kann man hier machen?
>end:Tschüß

=Name
Ich bin @[myname]@.
>zweck:Was kann man hier machen?
>end:Tschüß

=Zweck
Das ist eine Rennstrecke. Probiere doch, wie schnell Du bist!
>zeit1:kannst Du die Zeit stoppen?
>name:Wie heißt Du?
>end:Tschüß

=Zeit1
Klar!

Fertig?
>zeit2:LOS!
>end:Tschüß

=Zeit2
:set @[playername]@.start=timeOfDay()
@[@[playername]@.start]@
LOS!
:goto end

=Zeit3
@[@[playername]@.start]@
:set stop=timeOfDay()
:set @[playername]@.last=calc((@[stop]@ - @[@[playername]@.start]@)*60)
Super! Du hast @[@[playername]@.last]@ Spielminuten benötigt.
:set @[playername]@.start=
>end:Tschüß

The first time (in Zeit2) gets printed out but the second (in Zeit3) doesn't. The strange thing is that the value is available in calculation two lines later.

Little overloaded at work, but I'll check into this soon. Thank you!

Sorry for the long delay, been dealing with work and a family crisis. I've not abandoned this, but it may be a little bit before I can get back to it.

Short version: The "Save and Test" button always wipes out variables. I added a new "Test (without save or reset variables)" button so you can test persistence of variables

Long version: The problem here is that whenever you save the dialog, it rebuilds the dialog for that npc. That means the variables also get reset. So when you click the "Save and Test" button, the variables from any previous conversations all get wiped out. They should work just fine on the actual server when someone who is not the owner clicks on the npc, but they do not persist when you click on the "Save and Test" button.

In order to fix this, I've added a new "Test (without save or resetting variables)" button. Now when the owner is working with a dialog, they can use this button to restart the dialog WITHOUT rebuilding the dialog, so the variables do not get reset and will persist between different conversations (just like the would for any non owner clicking on the npc)

I updated the documentation as well to reflect this. Please download the most recent version (0.31) and confirm if this fixes your problem.
