Hey ,
I have a table with numbers ..
Now i want to make in my actor a simple change to its image , according to the table values..
Change "self.image" To "Thumbnail"..tableCellValue(game.TB Images , game.RowNumber , 1)..".png"

But apparently i can't , the expression is broken ..
Am i doing it wrong ? or is this feature not accessible at the moment?

EDIT:
I can do a simple workaround, but i want to know if it possible this way..

    Have you tried setting the column to text instead of integer? Perhaps GS doesn't convert a type of integer to string, which might be what is required.

    Ok i just found that the problem is with the figure '0' !
    When the cell value is 0..
    this expression :
    "Thumbnail"..tableCellValue(game.TB Images , game.RowNumber , 1)..".png"

    Is giving the result of : Thumbnail.png

    Instead of : Thumbnail0.png

    Any other value different than '0' is performing as it should..

    Any thoughts ?

    yes! Roy … there is no Row# 0 …

    think you may have to just do a rule for when game.RowNumber is O

    I had issue when I wanted to labelRows with a number and not text … then try to reference that label with a gameAttribute … would read that as a Row call and never a label
    … didn't want to have to redo someBehaviors in many instance … so just made another gameAttribute to update with correct row for image

    weirdly my iPad and Desktop but utilize Hebrew "QWERTY"
