Hmm, there isn't a good way to set variables through a script, but you
can do it outside scripts. There is some logic available in there that
might not be available in the UI yet: you can set the value of a
variable per state (usually for resetting the variable) and you can set
up an expression for changing a variable upon execution of a transition.
Does that help?
