General EQWatcher Concepts > Venturing into the Unknown  > Identifiers

An EQWatcher identifier is a constant number.  This number is used by value rather than reference, contrary to constants.  The EQWatcher interpreter has no idea that any identifiers were defined.  Identifiers may be used in place of a numeric value in any expression.  Commands that require numeric values and will not accept variables (such as file handling), will accept identifiers.

An identifier is defined as follows:

identifier [name] [value];

For example:

identifier true 1;

identifer false 0;

These are default identifiers and do not ever need to be explicitly identified in any script.  Other default identifiers include:

SND_WAVE, SND_CD, SND_MP3, SND_TTS, SND_ALIAS, SND_SYNCWAVE, and SND_SYNCTTS
