+Description
+All of the variable commands can also be used followed by the ''*'' (asterisk) symbol in order to access global variables instead. Global variables do not belong to one single script, reading or writing to a global variable will modify the same exact value from any script.
+Global variables belong to a map and can be accessed from within different scripts. For this reason it is recommended to stick to a unique naming convention to prevent collisions with other scripts.
+Global variables may have the same names as local variables, there is no interference between them.
+One example global variables may be used for is storing values which should always be the same across all units. That way it isn't necessary to send a message to each individual unit.
