[Solved] Why can't I display a Real Number?

loganobarr

I have a table that has 5 rows and four columns, in each cell there is a different number(Real Numbers). I also have an attribute that is a real number. the attribute equals TableCellValue(game.Table, random(1, 5), random(1, 4))

Now I want do display it on an actor so I have the actor have a display function on it. the function reads Display game.Attribute

But It only displays a zero and I cant figure out why

Then it's an easy fix!

In your TableCellValue expression make sure that you are selecting game.Table from the attribute browser instead of typing its name in. The same goes for game.Attribute in the Display Text behavior. Is the attribute a real type as well as the table cells?

Also pay attention to the order of your rules. Is it possible you are setting the cell value after you are changing the attribute?

If you're still stuck, upload screenshots of your rules to a file-sharing service and post the links here.

The attribute is Job type/location and the table is Jobs. the actor is Actor 1

Your rules look correct. Have you verified that the Change Attribute behavior actually occurs? You can do that with a Log Debugging Statement.

Another option is to upload a link to your project file. Sometimes there are more obvious issues that can't be observed through screenshots.

I belive the change attribute is where the problem occurs, but what could cause it to not work?

I feel like a fool, the problem was that I had the change attribute on the wall, but I did not have the wall present in the scene...
