Alterable values

[Gabriel]

Has anyone noticed that alterable vlues cannot be decimals? I have a simple event,
Always->add 0.2 to alterabe value A of active.
Always->set scale of active to alt A of active.
This does not work for some reason, but if I replace the alterable value with a counter, it works. Why is this?

The solution is very simple. Instead of "scale = alt A", go like "scale = alt A * 0.01". Now the numbers 0 to 100 will set the scale from 0 to 1.

I guess the reason why alterable values can only be integers, is because integers is faster.

Alterable values can be decimals, but you cannot use the "Add" or "Subtract" actions if you want them to be decimals.

Just do "Set alterable value A to alterable value A + 0.2" and it should work fine.

Is that new for MMF2? I was never successfully able to set an MMF1 alterable value to a decimal.

No. It worked just like stuckboy wrote in MMF1.5.

Tried it now. It works indeed <img src="/center/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I guess you learn something every day.
