For some reason, I can't get a data node to store an integer correctly. The exact same code, when the data node is named "test", seems to work.

To look at this, please see /mods/ui2/ufos/bases.ufo.

Lines 360-361 include two data nodes:

data nodeheight { integer 1 }
data test { integer 1 }

Lines 579-580 echo the values of these data nodes:

cmd "echo test <node:root.sections.facilities.bld_panel.bld_space.test@integer>"
cmd "echo nodeheight1 <node:root.sections.facilities.bld_panel.bld_space.nodeheight@integer>"

However, in game "test" echoes the correct integer and "nodeheight" does not.

test 1 2012/05/12 02:13:13
nodeheight1 <node:root.sections.facilities.bld_panel.bld_space.nodeheight@integer> 2012/05/12 02:13:13

The string "nodeheight" does not appear anywhere else in the .ufo file, so I can&#039;t see how it could be modified before the echo command is complete. To test this yourself, load latest master with UI2 mod and click on any base. The text should be echoed to the screen.

bases.ufo with these echo commands was committed here:

I think you can use = *node:root.sections.facilities.bld_panel.bld_space.nodeheight@integer
instead of <node:root.sections.facilities.bld_panel.bld_space.nodeheight@integer> which is not the same way to work. But i can&#039;t check right now.

I tried changing lines 579-580 to the following:

cmd "echo test <node:root.sections.facilities.bld_panel.bld_space.test@integer>"
cmd "echo nodeheight1 *node:root.sections.facilities.bld_panel.bld_space.nodeheight@integer"

This resulted in the following output:

test 1 2012/05/14 14:00:15
nodeheight1 2012/05/14 14:00:15

It seems that there is no integer going into the node. Lines 360-361 remain unchanged.

sorry you dont understand me right. While you use it inside quotes, it will not works. I talk about something like that:

*node:foobar@height = *node:root.sections.facilities.bld_panel.bld_space.nodeheight@integer

Anyway, i v got some time now, i hope to fix it soon now.
