Can anyone see the problem in this rule? (picture)

i wanted the left trigger to interpolate down the table column... like theres 1,2,3,4,5 so i wanted to say when left is pressed...tablecell -1 but that didnt work.

the table just hold "real" numbers.... which are X positions i want the block to interpolate to. thanks guys, have a good night

if you are going to do a table cell - 1 deal you have to make a game.tablecell attribute and set that as your row or column in the expression. you will also nee to add a change attribute somewhere that does the table cell - 1 part of the change.

hope that makes sense.

VolontaArts

@tenrdrmer yes it does... thanks...idk if im the only one...but i need to picture the attributes and rules working together before i can write it lol...and im still trying to picture it working. but it makes sense! thanks

VolontaArts

@tenrdrmer how do i subtract the table cell? i can just put -1 behind it

tenrdrmer

you would use

Change Attrbibute game.tablecell to game.tablecell-1

VolontaArts

i see... subtract the attribute.. ok will try now thanks

@tenrdrmer

tenrdrmer

Correct you should be subtracting the attribute separate from the interpolate behavior that is using the attribute to define the row or column you are trying to reference.

tenrdrmer

You generally don't want anything in your interpolates that is not a fixed value. if you start putting in expressions that have changing values it really mucks up your interpolate moves

VolontaArts

ah i see.. thank you @tenrdrmer for now its working how its suppose to!

instead of interpolate, you could use a timer with change attribute.

timer instead of interpolate? not sure how that would work

tenrdrmer

Timers will certainly work but interpolate is always better on performance. Timers can suck up your RAM and should be avoided if possible.
