Graal Forums - created event for joined classes?

Right now I have this in my script for a boss I'm making.

PHP Code:


		
			
  temp.damage = putnpc2(31,20,"join control_damage;");

  temp.damage.attacker = this;

  temp.damage.target   = player;

  temp.damage.recoil   = 10;

  temp.damage.scheduleEvent(0.5,"SetDamageField",31,20,2,2,32,0,-2,1);

The control_damage class sets recoil to 5 on event created. However, setting the recoil in this manner isn't working because apparently the created event isn't being called until after I've already scheduled the setdamagefield event. Would anyone suggest a way of going about creating default values that wouldn't require a setter function with an internal bool and a lot less simplicity to override? This wouldn't exactly be the prime example, but it's quite annoying.

Edit: Either way, I just added it as a parameter (the only things that were using it were the new movement system that isn't added and the boss where I was having the trouble), but there are a lot of class-joining NPCs where I would want to make a default variable based on whether or not the variable has been set. You can do this with strings, but not with numbers (or as far as I know, not with numbers).

Edit: You're all a big help. Perhaps I could do something with getdynamicvarnames()?
