[DONE] What does =! mean?
I am reading some source code I found...

In a "press SPACE" event it has script:

global.isoview =! global.isoview

Now I know != means not equal to, but what does =! mean?

Google does not help because it does not recognise those symbols for search :(

global.isoview = !global.isoview

This would flip the boolean value of global.isoview (true would become false, false would become true). GML is pretty easy going on interpretation syntax rules; it may work even though the spacing is off. I haven't tested.

Ah! So it is like:

The new global.isoview equals NOT the old global.isoview

So it flips it...very clever!
