Hi all, I'm tearing my hair out on this one, even got my missus to look at it.

I have a tiny script to make an image appear (named Prize) on the showing of another image (named C_Tick), so I fill a variable USER_WIN with the value from the IsShowing attribute, which should be true or false. I test for "true" and show the Prize image. But alas it fails to work.
I have dropped a text object and filled it with the USER_WIN variable, and it changes as the C_Tick image appears and disappears, but the expression does still not work.

It's as though the USER_WIN is showing me the value "true" but there's some white space I haven't accounted for.

Here is the uber simple script, I'm ashamed to ask for help on this one, I know it must be something simple.


USER_WIN = C_Tick.IsShowing()
if (USER_WIN == "true")
{
Prize.Show()
}


Many thanks, Buns.
PS I have tried double and single quotes.

Hi,

I tried a slightly different script, and it worked:



true is a reserved term and probably needs to be without quotes.

Kind Regards,

Thanks Stephen, perfect. I knew it would be something simple.

Much appreciated.


Cheers, Buns.

To expand on the issue slightly, it fails because the variable type is wrong.

It's expecting a Boolean response IE true or false (1 or 0) but by enclosing true in quotes you're essentially treating the value as a string. Because it's a Boolean, the code can be refined slightly:



or if you require false:

Thanks Mack, I will refine my code. I must admit I hadn't up to this point needed a Boolean expression, and it had me foxed as a string appeared to be showing in the text box.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers, Kurt.
