private variables for families

apparently, private variables for families can't be called in the expression editor

i have a family called "player"

and i'm trying to run a loop as such

System: Start loop "positiveDisplacement" and run player.Value('speed') times

the result is this error

Error in parameter 2:

'speed' is not a private variable in 'Value' (parameter 1)

but if the players have diffrent speeds... guess that's why.

yeah, i figures as much lol

but if that's the case then i've hit a road block in coding universal events <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad" />

This shouldn't be a problem. Does the shortcut player('speed') work?

This shouldn't be a problem. Does the shortcut player('speed') work?

I've got the same problem. I have a family called "Routes", and I can't access private variables.

Routes('NextPointUID')[/code:3i5t0cjs]

This does not work, it says it is not a private variable in Routes (it has no problems accessing it from an action).

Another related thing, I have an event, "right click on the Routes family", and in that Routes.UID always returns the same ID. Shouldn't it refer to the Routes just clicked (the subject of the event), or don't families work that way?

Ah, private variables don't work in families yet. Got some work to do there... sorry!
