Does anyone know how to use the globalalloc command correctly? Here's some code that uses it correctly but I can't seem to reproduce it on my own. Can anyone explain how this works? Here's an example of a good use of the globalalloc command in isaac rebirth -

globalalloc allocates a block of memory and registers the given name. That means the addresslist and other parts of CE can reference it.
Every time a script globalallocs pHearts it will give it the same address (It won't allocate it again)
This is useful for multiple scripts that can be executed in a random order

it's similar to

So here's my code that I tried to reproduce based on the code I posted up there. So far it works, but I haven't done any extensive playtesting.

if it works and doesn't crash it's good enough

True, but as long the code works, I don't really bother actually opening it again, besides - in this type of code, once you finally make sure it works, all you need to do is add more values to your table with the address (name given in code)+offset, without having to open the script again.
