Storing MapID $gameVaribles

[Faytless]

Trying to store mapID into a variable,  I remember it used to be a direct call in the older version -- unless I'm blind -- i can't figure out how. 

I'm using a script  call

$gameVariables.setVariable(5, $mapId)   <--      This is incorrect. 

$gameVariables.setVariable(6, $gamePlayer.x)

$gameVariables.setVariable(7, $gamePlayer.y)

Any ideas?

I already know that doesn't work lol.  Anyone know the correct syntax?

Use $gameMap._mapId

$gameVariables.setValue(5, $gameMap._mapId)

 

[Andar]

why not use control variable for this?

control variable : game data : other : Map ID

control variable : game data : Character : Player : Map X (or Y)

Erg, I knew there was a simple way to do this

Thanks for both of your answers.
