Okay, I was wondering if there is any way to create objects,
lights, and camera's in a function,this way I could organize my
code much more effeciently. Whenever, I try it I get an error
saying whatever I tried to create does not exist. Also, if you
declare an array in a function is it automatically global? Thanks
in advance for any help.

Arrays are global, as are constants. Variables are local.

Yes you can create anything in a function, you just need to ensure the data it requires (object numbers etc..) is visible to it, otherwise you will get the errors you are experiencing now.



Alternately you could use an array to hold object/camera numbers and access it directly from within a function (as its global). Be careful as a lot of global definitions can cause confusion with bigger projects.

ARRAYS can only be created outside of the function in order to be global.

In order to make a variable global, write Global variable where variable is your variable.

Constants, declared using the #Constant Variable=3 command, are gloabal as well. #Constant is the actual command. Variable=3 is an example.

WARNING: If you have DBC nothing but the array thing will work
