Modifiers

Modifiers use the ? prefix to change global behavior. Other features like get and include with function selection are covered here.

• Undefined Default - change what undefined variables return

Get Statement

The get statement extracts variable values from an external file without leaking its variables into your scope:

get "x", "y" from data.lil

This runs data.lil in a sandbox, snapshots the values of x and y, then copies them into your script. The file’s own variables are discarded.

Indexed access: retrieve historical (previous) assignment values:

get "x"(1) from data.lil    : 1st previous value of x
get "x"(2) from data.lil    : 2nd previous value

Index 0 (or no index) returns the current value. Uses the assignment history tracking in the VM.

Rename on import: map the file’s variable to a different name:

get "x" = "myX", "y" = "myY" from data.lil

The file’s x goes into your script’s myX, and y goes into myY.

Include with Function Selection

The include statement can import specific functions from a file instead of registering everything:

include dice.lil/roll_dice flip_coin

Only roll_dice and flip_coin from dice.lil are registered. Other functions defined in the file are discarded. This is useful for utility files that define many helpers but you only need a few.
