With Internal you start looking from the "node" the reference is in and look through the tree backwards. You can now reference cells within a grid using either. -There is only one difference in how these two methods work, so once you get the hang of Namespace, you will always know how it works. The difference is, External starts looking from the Game Tree and gets more narrow where as Internal starts from the node it is inside and searchs backwards getting more broad. -</text> - </nodehandler><nodehandler class="textctrl_handler" frame="400,400,257,105" icon="note" map="Traipse OpenRPG::User Manual::Game Tree::Namespace" module="forms" name="Usage" version="1.0"> - <text hide_title="0" multiline="1" raw_mode="0" send_button="1">Namespace Internal: -(Syntax) !=Node=! +*An explanation of terms* +Gametree: The list of objects on the left-hand side of the window that holds all your nodes. +Node: Refers to any object in the gametree. +Container: Refers only to those nodes that are capable of storing other nodes (Splitter, +Tabbers, Folder, Forms, etc.).
