If you define a var for /atom, then it will apply to all objs, mobs, turfs, and areas.

atom/var? var? What do you mean?

If I understand what you're saying, you want a variable which would be the same for every single type, or that is what I heard from you at least.

If you want that, you should use global variables. When one mob's global variable changes, all of the mob's global variable changes.

mob
  var/global/asdf


If asdf were to change for one mob, all mob's "asdf" variable would change.

There's no such thing as "a mob's global var", because a global var doesn't belong to any mob at all.

mob
  var/global/asdf


That could work I guess, but much better would be this:

var/asdf

You can change a variable anywhere.
