[Xerte] RE: How do you use the Path property of a Decision icon?

[Paul Swanson]

Thanks Ron.
 
I didn't find calculate as an option for the branch property in the
help, so I had left it as sequential. After setting that to calculate,
and removing the curly braces from the path property, it is working fine
now. I also found that the path property is zero-based, so the first
branch is path 0, the second is path 1, etc. I thought that might be the
case, but now I know for sure.
 
Paul

	Hi
	Julian might correct me but a couple of thoughts...
	 
	1. when you set the path property of the decision icon it's not
{path} just path
	 
	2. you also need to set the branch property to calculate
	 
	The pause and erase settings will also make a difference to what
you actually see on screen but I'm sure you're aware of that.
	 
	HTH

	I'm trying to branch using a Decision icon's path property, and
I'm not sure how to go about it. Can the path property take an
expression or variable? I'm using a variable determined in a script icon
for the path:

	if (score < 90) { 
	  path = 1; 
	} else { 
	  path = 2; 
	} 

	and entering {path} for the path property of the Decision icon,
but I seem to go down the first branch no matter what path equals. What
is the correct way to do this?
