Shadowing of multiple variables in one GUI trigger

[Eikonium]

Hey Guys,

I tried to shadow multiple global variables with local ones in GUI, and it actually worked.
So my question is: does this always work?
I remember, that this wasn't the case a few years ago. At that time, you could only shadow up to one variable.

Greetings!

It's not recommended to shadow globals.

Up to patch 1.24, it was not even possible to shadow more than one variable, and it turned the whole map script into case-insensitive. These glitches were apparently fixed around patch 1.24, but they were fixed barely to a level of helping GUI users do local var tricks. Issues persist, and the issues are of the kind that could eventually cause some scripts issues in unpredictable places.

Hmm. Are some more exact informations out there? I didn't notice any issues so far, and I would be glad if I don't had to implement an array system to be MUI.

The issues may just be with vJASS compatibility, however I'm not sure.

Although I think would be best to code properly rather than relying on hacks..
