I was reading Help with Oscillation Function in Pulp and I noticed Terry using this pattern:
aboveTarget = sTargetX,aboveTargetY
nameAT = name aboveTarget
I tried it out, and it works in browser, in simulator and on device! Test snippet:
xy = 8,7
tile_name = name xy
// This first say works
say "tile_name: {tile_name}" then
// This second say causes a crash
say "xy: {xy}"
end
According to the pulpscript docs "variables can hold a number or a string", and there is similarly no mention of this pattern under the functions type
, name
, etc.
Logging out the value of xy
in browser gives [object Object]
and attempting to format xy
into a string causes this crash on the simulator (and similar on device):
Update error: invalid value (table) at index 6 in table for 'concat'
stack traceback:

09:52:00: Update failed, simulator paused.
Is this an intentional feature of pulpscript?
I would guess not and might want fixing given the string formatting bug, but it is interesting that it works with the name
function!
