errrr .. yeah it is $glob .. I just messed up retyping it in the post here

the problem is with using $instanceID as part of the variable name

Situationally, what exactly are you trying to achieve. I know you are trying to set the race of something based on instance but could you give a little more detail and perhaps there would be a better way to approach it. Is it one npc? multiple npcs? Reason behind it?

noob enters the world, goes to the loading zone, is immediately transferred to a new private instance created for them where they are welcomed by 2 NPCs that are of their same race.. they then go through kind of a trial.. so it could be annoying to write X different zone instances for each race.. unless there's some way to automate it / copy 1 instance to several..

so using global variables.. I figure that when I create the instance I save out the user's race and after I spawn the 2 welcoming NPCs I set their races based on the global variable I saved when creating the instance.. it should work? except I can't seem to save/read these global variables =\
