Determining active via expression?

[Dengarde]

So I know that when you're determining an alterable value or string to change, you can change which value to affect via expression. I'm wondering if it's also possible to determine the *active* holding the value you want to change via expession as well?

For example I want to change Alterable Value A of an active, but that active is a variable in itself. Something like

Set ChangedAltVal("Active" + str$(TargetID("OtherActive"))
to
NewValue("OtherActive")

(That doesn't work, by the way)

Otherwise the only way I can figure out to do this is to set up an event for every combination of targets, And given how many I have that would total 137 events ...and I don't really want to do that.

No, not directly, but you can give all the actives the same qualifier and a type-id that could either be an alterable value or and alterable string. It's not exactly what you want, but should make your work easier nonetheless.

Darn it, I was afraid if that. Using qualifiers has given me problems in the past, so I was trying to avoid them.

Oh well, thanks for the reply, I'll give it a shot and see if it works better this time.
