Using Qualifier to change string paragraph of only one item

Welcome to our brand new Clickteam Community Hub! We hope you will enjoy using the new features, which we will be further expanding in the coming months.

A few features including Passport are unavailable initially whilst we monitor stability of the new platform, we hope to bring these online very soon. Small issues will crop up following the import from our old system, including some message formatting, translation accuracy and other things.

Thank you for your patience whilst we've worked on this and we look forward to more exciting community developments soon!

  • I haven't used qualifiers in a while and I'm having trouble. I have several String objects, each with two paragraphs. I want to be able to change the paragraph of only the one I select-- click on it to bring up a Popup object, then select the paragraph number in the popup. But it's not working, it's changing it on all of the items that are part of that qualifier group. The Popup does show that the correct item has been selected (I have it set to use the name of the item clicked on as the title of the Popup). Once you click on one of the strings to bring up the Popup, this (image below) is what I'm doing. Any idea what I'm forgetting or doing wrong?

  • OK, I figured it out. Selecting the option in the popup starts a "for each" loop (see #579 and 580 in image). Then on the loop it looks for the name that was stored as an alterable string (compare two general items--- 581 and 582), then when it finds it, it changes the text paragraph of that specific String object.

    (Note: When you click to bring up the popup menu, it saves the name of the item clicked on as an alterable string on another object. Now that the option to "Allow alterable values for counters and strings" is there, I could store the name in an alterable string of the qualifier, but to change it now, for me, is more work than it's worth.)

  • As a side note, "only one action while event loops" in a triggered (green) event is pointless
