Google Apps Script object confusion - object

Question

This top code inserts adsf into the spreadsheet instead of something else, however the code below logs something else as expected... what's going on here? Set the Apps Script function to myFunction... (P.S. I deleted and updated my previous question with this question)
This code doesn't work as expected:
var obj = {variable:"adsf"};
function myFunction() {
function scheduledScript(plusMonth,plusDay,plusHour,plusMinute) {
obj.variable = "something else";
var now = new Date();
var year = now.getFullYear();
var MONTH = now.getMonth();
var DAY = now.getDate();
var HOUR = now.getHours();
var MINUTE = now.getMinutes();
var seconds = now.getSeconds();
var milliseconds = now.getMilliseconds();
var date = new Date(year,MONTH+plusMonth,DAY+plusDay,HOUR+plusHour,MINUTE+plusMinute,10,0);
ScriptApp.newTrigger('send').timeBased().at(date).create();
}
scheduledScript(0,0,0,1);
}
function send() {
Logger.log(obj.variable); //"adsf"
SpreadsheetApp.openById("1z28v6Y_4kwTxfqXLvEb1Zo81QJGZ8AfxkoSFYP5LM8E").setActiveSelection("H1").setValue(obj.variable);
}
This code works as expected:
var obj = {variable:"asdf"};
function myFunction() {
function process() {
Logger.log(obj.variable); //"asdf"
obj.variable = "something else";
notify();
}
process();
}
function notify () {
Logger.log(obj.variable); //"something else"
}

Answer 1

No confusion there.
Your first script sample sets a time-based trigger which executes send() function. When it executes, it gets the obj global variable value you set in the first line of your code. The trigger does not run your myFunction() function which changes the obj global variable value. Hence you see adsf entered in the spreadsheet cell.
