Making rules with table values?

RubiWorks

Hello i´m trying to make a comparison about...


Rule
----
Attribute: tableCellValue(game.mytable,row,colum) = 0

then make anything


But is imposible with GS. Any idea or solution if i want to have everything in tables and i want to save memory?

GameSalad does not currently support table expressions on the left side of a rule condition. There are two workarounds:

1. Create an integer attribute called game.ZERO and make its value zero. Then use game.ZERO on the left side of the rule condition and a tableCellValue expression on the right side.

2. Create an attribute that matches the table cell type (e.g. if you have integer cells, make it an integer attribute; if you have real cells, make it a real attribute, etc.). Assign the value of the tableCellValue to that attribute before the rule:

Change/Constrain Attribute game.theCell to tableCellValue(game.mytable,row,column)
When attribute game.theCell = 0

The next version of GameSalad should have left-side table expression compatibility.

Thanks so much dear @tatiang I making that when i thinking in my question.


1.Make an attribute called game.cellvalue or actor.cellvalue.

2. Constrain game.cellvalue to tableCellValue(game.mytable,row,colum).

3. Use game.cellvalue as a tableCellValue(game.mytable,row,colum) in the rule.


The problem is that i´m noob about what is the best way to save memory and optimize a game then maybe i use a lot of resourses

Don't worry too much about resources. Tables are a great way to store data. And both saving and loading table data is very easy. There are good videos available if you Google gamesalad tables.
