How to type "%" as a text in GS with Display Text?

*Tries not to get involved with current "madness" until the next official post....

Hi again!

I'm trying to write the "%" character with "Display Text" behavior but it says "Invalid Bla Bla". It takes it as a function (Modular arithmetic) and thinks it is invalid. What to do?

Thanks!

game.Attribute.."%"

For more details, see The Unofficial GameSalad Textbook. The explanation of the Display Text behavior is excellent.

Well, I figured it out..

I created a "Self Attr." on the actor and choosed "Text" as the type. And than changed the name to "Percent" the value to "%". Then;

Display text --> Self.Attr.Percent

And it does work. Hope it helps someone..

The textbook way is easier and more efficient. You don't need to create an extra attribute just for a percent sign.
