(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So if this was really C++ in the patch_mp, I would be able to declare variables like I can in in C++ language.

short int x=10; // x is now and integer defined as 10

I do not appear to be able to do this in the patch_mp. What is the trick to be able to declare variables that are scoped to self and player?

Within a for loop I am able to create and have a variable increment, but I have not tried declaring one outright and utilizing it.
