'''Defines''', in [[AGIWiki/AGI|AGI]] [[AGIWiki/Logic|logic]], allow you to provide a proper name for the [[AGIWiki/Variable|variables]], [[AGIWiki/Flag|flags]], [[AGIWiki/Animated object|objects]] and other data in the game. This significantly improves the readability of the code. | '''Defines''', in [[AGIWiki/AGI|AGI]] [[AGIWiki/Logic|logic]], allow you to provide a proper name for the [[AGIWiki/Variable|variables]], [[AGIWiki/Flag|flags]], [[AGIWiki/Animated object|objects]] and other data in the game.

The AGI Studio compiler allows you to place the <code><nowiki>#define</nowiki></code> commands in a separate file and then use those defines in multiple logics without having to redefine them all again. See [[AGIWiki/Includes|includes]] for more details. | The AGI Studio compiler allows you to place the <code><nowiki>#define</nowiki></code> commands in a separate file and then use those defines in multiple logics without having to redefine them all again.
