You variable is a number, so it can't contain text. Set up your variable as string.

Okay so what is a string then? I am following a tutorial and it says to set value "left" not 6. If i am supposed to write left whit numbers what i should i write then? It do work whit numbers like -10 but that.s not what i am supposed to write according to the tutorial. It should be left somehow.

Okay so i need to make the action set value and then write in "left". But when i click on done afterwards it says Invalid Value `left` For value. You cannot set a string to number variable `action` use int() or float() around the expression to convert.

I have tried to follow the instruction that pops up but whitout success. I have put in many other things in the text but it just turns into a syntex error instead. Can anybody help me how to sucessfully out in "left" in set value?

Okay Construct 2 is supposed to be a game making program that you don't need to use codes to use. Then i found a tutorial called How to make a megaman inspired game in construct 2. I can't post URLs so just google the sentence to find the tutorial. The tutorial is great for helping me whit the things i want in my game. It's clearly written that you need to put in codes to do as the tutorial says. It seems like the codes make custom events and actions that you need. So you need to put in the codes that's written in the tutorial. The question is how. I can't find a single part in Construct 2 whit codes or where you can put in codes. An idea i got was to export my project. That way i got the runtime and jquery parts of the file which pretty much is lots codes. I tried putting in the codes from the tutorial in these windows. But when i opened the project nothing had changed, i hadn't gotten the custom events and actions. I think the reason was that when you have exported the project it isn't a Construct 2 file anymore, just a playable game and any changes you do it after export doesn't affect anything since the file you open in construct 2 is the pre exported file that hasn't gotten any codes changed. So you need to put in codes into the project before you export it. Theres no extra file to the project that you open so you need to open the project file itself whit notes. There you get a window whit a bunch of codes. So i tried to put in the codes that was written in the tutorial after the already existing codes. I tried opening the project to see if something changed. I couldn't open the project anymore. So i in other words sabotaged my project when i put in the codes there. So how do i then put in the codes so i can keep following the tutorial? Don't just say that Construct 2 needs no coding. If you want to do like this tutorial says you need coding and i want to get help on how i code in construct 2. Try following the tutorial itself if you have trouble understanding what i mean.
