index attribute and 'my behaviors'

cragon310

Hi, I just downloaded GameSalad and am playing around with it. Just have a few questions which I haven't found anyone else ask on the forum.

-Does anyone know what the 'My Behaviors' folder under the Behaviors tab is for? Hopefully in the future we would be allowed to code and plug-in our own behaviors to extend the functionality of GS. Fingers crossed.

-What is the index attribute used for?

-When using the 'change attribute' expression editor I see there are mathematical functions. Does GS support any string functions (eg appending a string to an attribute)?

thanks

1. My Behaviors allows you to save a 'set' of rules. When you have a set of rules you want to use over & over you drag them into the My Behaviors.

2. Index attribute is currently not used.

3. ???

Thanks for the speedy replies!

Then I guess there is no way to modify string attributes apart from replacing them outright.

I was hoping I could use strings to do simple pattern/rule matching, but I'll probably have to use integers and add/extract individual digits to it to simulate a simple array.
