I have a 2 water tanks with seven buttons on them ranging 1-7, When the user clicks a button, the button and all those below it will turn blue. I have declared the global variables
tank1Level and
tank2Level on each button and on the stank. Here is the code I have for one of the buttons.
Code: Select all
//Height of individual tank
global tank2Level
//Shared variable for height of tank level to determine tank visual
global tankLevel
on mouseDown
put 2 into tankLevel
put 2 into tank2Level
send "setTank1" to this stack
end mouseDown
once the user is satisfied with the water level they can "fire" the tanks by clicking a button, here is the code for that
Code: Select all
global tank1Level, tank2Level
global tankLevel
global tankHeight
on mouseUp
put tank1Level + tank2Level into tankHeight
send fire to this stack
end mouseUp
***When I run this code, tank1Level, tank2Level, and tannHeight are not storing their values when control switched to the stack. Am I using these variables incorrectly? If the stack script would be helpful please let me know!

Do you have
global tank1Level, tank2Level
global tankLevel
global tankHeight
in your stack script?

Just using 2 buttons and your scripts the globals are working.
Not sure when tank1Level is used, but that doesn't matter.
Have you been dropping breakpoints in your code?

Hey Simon,
I really appreciate you running my code
Turns out the problem was a miss-spelled variable on a few "tank" buttons.
Darn sleep deprived eyes
Thanks!
