Script Only Stack Behaviors and Nesting

[Bob Sneidar]

Yes, but I am not talking about the child object's script. That works fine. What doesn't work are script locals in the behavior itself.

The downside to this is I have to get the array in every handler in the behavior script. Not a big deal, but I was trying to be efficient by only having to initialize the values once upon every openStack.
