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?
