  • Global and local variables not accepted in an expression.

    Try either action, setting the variable unit.targettedby to the global or local variable doesn't work, claiming it's an "invalid value for 'value' - you cannot set a string to the number value targettedby."

  • New clues - now I can't even make the most basic .cap with setting a sprite's variable to a global variable even with a fresh .cap. I think it might have started happening after changing a local variable's scope level and then undoing.

    Deleting the registry key didn't fix it. Reinstalling didn't fix it. Opening up an event sheet in a text editor and manually entering the variable there, then reloading, works.

  • I might be misunderstanding what you are saying in your first post, but if you wrap the global or local variable with int(), then it accepts the value, i.e. unit.targettedby = int(value).

    As far as I know, it has always worked like this in C2. At least, that's how I have always had to do it.

  • Hmm, that does work - they seem to be accepted as parts of other expressions too, like distance. Shouldn't that not be necessary, though?

  • I think I might know what's going on - I think C2 is mixing up what type of variables they are somewhere. It complains based upon the type of variable I'm setting. If it's a string I'm trying to set, regardless if the variable is a number or string it complains about me trying to enter a number to a string variable, and the other way around when setting number variables.

  • I agree, it doesn't seem like it should be that way. I just assumed it was that way for reason and never questioned it. <img src="smileys/smiley24.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

  • Thanks, fixed in next build.
