Change images within Rules?

DrGlickert

I want to set it up like this;
Rule: When game.attribute = 0
Change Image to picture0
OTHERWISE
Rule: When game.attribute = 1
Change Image to picture1
OTHERWISE
Rule: When game.attribute = 2
Change Image to picture2
ETC...

This doesn't work.
I have to make the change image behaviors within individual rules...

Any idea why?

Do dont the otherwises, just make a separate rule for each image change.

Hi DrGlickert; my guess is that you've made your game.attribute as boolean instead of integer. Or possibly you've not nested the otherwise's properly maybe?

yeah dont use otherwise. just make sepertate rules when attribute=1 change image to image1 then another rul when attribute =2 change image to image to and keep going wiht the rules

Hi TacoStand and John P: what have got against using otherwise?

DrGlickert

I really like using OTHERWISE because it keeps things nice and neat. The attributes are integer attributes. I use a lot of OTHERWISE when I've got other integer attributes that do various things based on the number in that specific attribute.

Also, I was under the impression that every individual rule eats processor however, rules within rules (like in OTHERWISE) are not "AS BAD" on the processor...(I use the term "AS BAD" loosely).

I've had bad experiences trying to use the otherwise feature, they never seem to work right for me...

Otherwise nesting has always worked fine for me but a neater way I've just remembered, originally from CodeMonkey (where'd he go?) and tshirtbooth is:

When touch is pressed
Change Attribute game.Att To ((game.Att + 1)%3)

when game.Att = 0
Change image

etc; in this example, up to 2
