Spawn variable box text Question!

[guyboy]

I'm trying to spawn a box that comes with an auto-updating box text. (using the {} brackets)
The problem is that when I use the following code:

Code: Select all

Scene.addBox({text := {math.toString(scene.my.num1)}});

The boxes come out with the static value of scene.my.num1 at the time of creation instead of the desired

Code: Select all

{math.toString(scene.my.num1)}

Because Algodoo evaluates {math.toString(scene.my.num1)} before spawning the object.

Is there any way to fix this?

Create scene.my.num1 (scene.my.num := whatever)after or at the same time the box is spawned.

Search "dynamic" in thyme topic
(scene.addbox({})).text = {""+scent.my.text}

That's awesome Kilinich, thanks!
But there still is something wrong
This works:

Code: Select all

(e)=>{ (Scene.addBox({})).text = {math.toString(scene.my.num1)} }

But this doesn't:

Code: Select all

(e)=>{ (scene.my.generate1 > 0) ? { (Scene.addBox({})).text = {math.toString(scene.my.num1)}; scene.my.generate1 = scene.my.generate1 - 1 } : {} }

whaa??

With the first code, nothing, with the second code:

I've got it - you need to move code into scene.my. procedure for use it in if-then-else.

Could you please enlighten me on how this is done?
Thank you.
