Some example code would help here.

Don't put variables into the plugin (in the <variable> part) because that will overwrite any variables saved in the state file.

If you have "save_state" set then each world/plugin combination saves its plugin variables into a file in the "state" subdirectory. The file name is a combination of the plugin ID and the world ID. eg.

Thank you very much Nick.
I check the code, found that it load a serialized table into a global var from the state file every time the plug installed.
I have always thinked that the var stored in _G namespace could also be stored when i leaved the world.
and now i see, Only the var saved in the state file could be kept, Is that right?
