        It retrieves and sets a var at the same time. It retrieves the value that you set, so:

        getSetVar("foo",1) = 1

          An easier way to understand it i find is it retrieves the var and then resets it. So have an ontouch box that sets the variable to 1 normally with getvar it retrieves the variable and thats it. getsetvar when the box isn't being touched it resets the variable to 0. that probably made no sense but still

            It can be useful for other stuff; I used it alot in the toggle script.

              I think a setVar controlled magnet uses it to reset itself.

              I reject your reality and substitute my own.
