# Local variables

The following in-flowchart parts let you declare a local variable:

- Get property (Crocodile ICT only)
- Random
- Receive
- Set variable

Change the variable name to create a new local variable. Once this has been done, you can use the local variable in subsequent parts in the flowchart and in any subroutines called by the flowchart.

If you wish to use the same variable in different flowcharts in the same scene, then you must declare a scene (global) variable.
