Help with tables

I want to try to save all my attributes in a table how I do it?
Just use save table? I don't need to load it back?
How I change cell value in table like 'change attribute' command?
Tanks!

Yes, just save it. There is no need to load it, GameSalad automatically loads it in.

You can change a value when you use the "Change Table Value" behavior.

What about a 'display text' on you actor? tableCellValue(MyTable,1,1).
That will tell YOU at least what your table is doing. Not sure that helps.
I use lots of 'display text' behaviours to see what's happening or not happening.

*sigh* I just had a student suggest that GameSalad needs a console that lists all attributes and their values during scene previews for debugging purposes. I so wish we had that.

Something to think about when you are setting up your tables. The Change Table Value allows you to change one row and multiple columns. If you set up your table with multiple rows and one column you will need a separate Change Table Value attribute for each value change. Depending on how many changes you need to make at one time it can get a little clunky to work with but it makes no difference to how GS works.

This doesn't matter if you only need to make one change at a time. However if you need to make multiple changes consider how you set up your tables beforehand and think about using one row with multiple columns instead of the other way around.

Thanks to everybody! I did it by self.attribute
So if I want to check if table cell value is 1 I create self.attribute=1 and check if it's=table cell value
It works fine for me thanks a lot!
