scripting issue

[phunisawesome]

i need help with my jet powered van im making. i know it sounds stupid but when I tried to save the completed scene and then load again it to make sure everthing is good, the variable {scene.my.jet} which is used to power the car is gone. I have made sure when i save to put the variable in but even if I do it always saves without it. Im sooooo close please help if you can the file size is to big so i cant attach it to the post. i have also made a scene in phunbox called jet van leave a comment on the scene if thats easyer for you. the part that needs to stay scripted it the large purple block on the van . In attraction it needs to say

Code: Select all

{scene.my.jet}

without going away at all. good luck hopfully its easy.

This is a known problem in Algodoo, as far as I know, the only way to rectify your problem is to make sure that the variable isn't replacing a float/integer/boolean/string equal to the variable, i.e.

Code: Select all

Attraction = 5.0 

Replaced with:

Scene.my.variable = 5.0
Attraction = {scene.my.Variable}

You can either unzip the scene and hardcode it in or you can do it an easier way. Have a laser(if you have Algodoo) or make a beacon that is colliding with the purple block.

Code: Select all

e.other.attraction = scene.my.jet
//onCollide

e.geom.attraction = scene.my.jet
//onLaserHit or onHitByLaser
