Compare Family Variable

Hi, I have a drag and drop setup which validates by checking a variable ("value") against the container variable of the same name.

This works fine.

However, the 'container' items can be different objects (bowl, cup, glass, etc), so I moved the variable to the family level:

Family: Container // Property: "value"

==> Glass

If I check the water.value = Glass.value it works fine. However, if instead I check against the family, the check fails:

water.value = Container.value

Is this expected behavior?

sounds like a picking problem. If more than one of the "Container" objects is picked, then it will only compare the water.value to the first of the container objects unless you do a For Each container loop, or use some other method to make sure you are comparing to a single object.

Thanks--I hadn't changed the filter for the drop event to Containers, so even though all the objects were of the family, it was picking them incorrectly?

Before (not working):

Water is overlapping Glass

Water.value = Container.value

Now (Working)

Water is overlapping Container

Water.value = Container.value
