Virtual variables are variables that are used by the game internally and are exposed for use in fun. See here to learn more about variables in general. Unlike user defined variables virtual variables don't have to be read- and writeable at the same time. It's not defined what happens if you try to read a non readable virtual variable. If you try to set a non-writeable virtual variable nothing will happen.
