What exactly ":=" does?

I've read the docs that come with MUGEN, but I still don't understand what := does. I know that it must have a var on the left side, but then?

:=

The assignment operator. An unredirected variable name (var(n) or fvar(n) for suitable values of n) must appear on the left-hand side. If the left-hand side contains an integer variable, then the right-hand side is truncated to an integer before assignment. If the left-hand side contains a float variable, then the right-hand side is converted to float if necessary before assignment. In both cases, the value of the expression is the value that is assigned to the variable.

example:

Code:

trigger1 = var(0):=55 ;sets var(0) to 55

It is set if MUGEN evaluates it.
That's why it is popular to use this in a "Null" controller to set numerous vars in one place, for various triggers.

Example:

type = Null
trigger1 = anim = 100
trigger1 = var(5) := 1
trigger2 = anim = 200
trigger2 = var(5) := 2

MUGEN will skip the second trigger1 and trigger2 if the first condition is false.
