integer problems
Hello everyone,
So I am just starting with Game Salad, and I'm not a programmer or coder by any stretch, but I can do a bit of mel scripting in Maya. I am trying to get a simple interger visible/ not visible option to work on an actor. I have read the forums, and found a very useful post that said to setup a new integer attribute on my object I want to control the visibility of, make it an integer, then use that to control the alpha of the object in the color menu. Then make a "button" actor to control the visible/invisible state in game. However, it doesnt work for me. I know the only part of the process that doesnt work is the last step. Changing the attribute to change the state of the alpha using ("attribute name"+1)%2 I know everything else works because I can change anything else using the new attribute I setup. Position, rotation, etc.. It all works, but when I try to connect it to the alpha using that expression. It never works. I also saw another post that said the correct expression is ("attribute name"+)%2 , but that didnt work either.
hoping anyone out there can help!
Thanks,
Doug Wolf
