Get Any Alterable Value with an Expression

[thewreck]

Hi.

You can specify to compare an alterable value from an expression, and you can set an alterable value through an expression, but you can not get an alterable value through an expression.

This is what i would like to do:
example:

value = 23 + AlterableValue( "active", 5 )

Which would pick the fifth Alterable Value of the object.

Is this possible somehow now? If it isn't, could it be implemented?

You could use Lua+ with a function like

function AlterableValue(ID)
return MF_GetObjectValue(1,ID)
end

then export your object to Lua, and call the function with the expression

LuaFunctionN("Lua+","AlterableValue",5)

Yes, it will be in the next update of the build 248.

[thewreck]

any Eta on when the next update of the build will be done?

[Yves]

We'll release the next beta version of this build either next week or the next one.

EDIT: hmm... probably the next one.
