    Is it possible to define a new scope for variables, or change how another works? I have a battle system and I'd like variables that are scoped to that. There are multiple battle systems in a scene, so Scene/App variables wouldn't work for it

    That's not possible natively at this time.

    A temporary workaround would be to use scene/app variables that reference a scene GameObject which then holds object scope variables necessary for a battle system. You can have as many game objects with object variables as necessary.

    Another would be to hold variables in C# scripts that you can then get/set in Bolt.

    And if you're proficient with C# then Bolt's source code does ship in Install Bolt folder of the asset store download or in Unity 2021 as a package.
