Hi, is it possible to have to script that can communicate with each other, i.e variables from one script beeing sent to another script? if so, does anyone have any advice on how to do this?

Yes, very easily. It is quite often done for anything more than the simplest projects.

Look through the wiki for information on llMessageLinked(). This will be your new best friend.

Generally, you can set it to send a message to LINK_THIS, assuming the scripts are in the same prim. Then, the messages are not likely to be intercepted by a script in another prim.

This should at least give you a good place to start.

Baron's suggestions are for scripts in the same object (including in different prims in the same object). Objects can also communicate by email and by using chat (ideally on a high channel number and with other protections to keep other objects from interfereing and vice versa).
