Are variables able to lock value easy?

[xxn1ghtm4re]

So guys I have a question: is there a way to lock a value?

I always use ".setvariable" and i know I can kinda infinite it by just putting the value upwards the 99999.
I wanted to know if it is possible to lock a value in a way. I tried a lot but i couldn't find the thing i need...
do you guys have any idea? if it's even possible.

Thanks in advance!

You can set a value via a timer so it appears to be locked or you can change the code and remove whatever changes the value

Just to leave a more in depth answer

usually the code might look something like this

public function DecAmmo() {
this.ammo = this.ammo - 1;

} You can remove the subtraction of '1' to make it never decrease

Or it can also look something like this

public function DecAmmo() {
if(event.Keycode == 12)
{
Bullet = new Bullet();
add(bullet);
ammo--
}

} You can remove the 'ammo--' Code to get the same effect..


Or you can add an if Condition which ill post an actual code from a game


private function enMathBoss(minions:uint) : void
{
var newEnemy:Enemy = null;
var ets:uint = minions;
this._minions++;
if(this._minions > 15)
{
this._minions = 15;
}

So this code looks sort of confusing but as you can see
its adding more minions using the this._minions++ to add them and
an IF condition below is saying if theres more than 15 minions then make the minions amount to 15

so if you want to apply this to ammo you would do something like

this.ammo = 999;
if(this.ammo != 999)
{
this.ammo = 999;
}

When i used '!=' thats telling it if the variable is NOT equal to 999 then do something
which that something is set it right back to 999 for infinite ammo..

I Just seen something about setVariable.. So im guessing you might be using visual studio?
I Believe the if condition still applies..
