[SOLVED] SetVariable idle/selected behaviour

#1 Post by SinnyROM » Mon Apr 27, 2015 1:03 pm

Hey, I'm not sure if this is a bug or if it's expected behaviour.

I give a button the action SetVariable(name,value) starting in the idle state.
After clicking on the button, it goes to the selected state.
After clicking elsewhere, the button is still in selected state.
It remains selected until that game ends.

I attached some screenshots of what I saw in regards to the Prefs button in the quick menu.

I don't understand why you put a "SetVariable" action in the Prefs button of the quick menu, but anyway, the answer is "expected behavior". A button that sets a variable to a value is "selected" if that variable has that value.

Using Prefs was a quick example, just to make sure I wasn't going nuts. Thanks to the both of you! The link was very enlightening.
