%getSavedVar()

Aliases	%getSavedVar( )
Parameters	mixed @entity, string @varName [, @entityType ]

    Retrieves the value of the variable that is within the persistent variable
    context of the entity. The entity may be a pointer to a room, mob, or
    object. It may also be the vnum of a room or a keyword of a mob or object.
    If variable is not found then null is returned. Persistent variables are
    stored in the MySQL database. The first time a retrieval is done the
    variable is loaded if it exists and cached for quicker subsequent
    retrieval. It is important to know that there can only be one shared saved
    variable OF THE SAME NAME for all mobs, or all objects, or all rooms with
    the same vnum.

    The @entity parameter may also be set to the vnum of a mobile or object. 
    If this is done then the optional @entityType parameter must be set to
    "mobile" or "object" respectively.

    Example:

    @owner = %getSavedVar( 10005, towerOwner )
