Question - Retrieve MQ2DataVars to Lua?

[Tacc]

In an MQNext macro, I declare a user-defined variable as: /declare foo string global value

Then in a Lua script, how would i retrieve the value of foo?

In the MacroScript to Lua 0.2 guide, 5c. Mixing Lua and Macro, I tried value = mq.TLO.Macro.Variable('foo')(), but that always returns nil

I will admit that my knowledge of the existing macro system is limited but I was able to retrieve values from variables declared as outer within a Lua script so perhaps it is the global keyword that is causing the issue?

IE:
/declare foo string outer testValue
...
/lua parse mq.TLO.Macro.Variable('foo')()
result: testValue
