Global variable set to NaN?

Hi guys,

My layout starts and creates a bunch of global variables. The last of which is instead of setting to 0 is being set to NaN.

Anybody know what this is and how to stop it?

...and before you ask the only time the value is set is when it is created i.e. Global number variable1 = 0

NaN means Not a Number. You will want to make sure the 0 is not "0". If it's wrapped in quotes, Construct would try to store a text value, not a number value. Hence the NaN result.

If that is not the case, I would have to look at your capx to help further.

I found your previous topic and downloaded your file. When I run it, I see both layouts counting up at the same rate. Starting on layout 1, the text begins counting, when I swapped to 2 it takes up the count right where I left off. I don't see the NaN result. I ran it in Chrome, FF and IE11. It ran fine in all 3. What browser are you using?

I understand you get a NaN when setting a string to a number. However, I am not doing that. The only time the value is set is when the global is declared with a default value of 0. What is interesting is the second time I run the layout, i.e. title screen to game back to title screen, It is no longer a NaN and set to 0.

The capx was something I created instead of providing my whole project. It wasn't the problem I thought it was and that capx proved it. After debugging I found that the last global variable in my layout was returning a NaN. On the second time the layout ran it returned 0.

I made a new variable called GlobalFullVersion and used that instead. It must not like the variable name GlobalUnlocked.

Very strange
