ZGameEditor forum

hi,

i'm used to inputting values with the number keys on my large keyboard; but the only punctuation on the number-keypad is the comma (,) which ZGE does not allow as a floating point in the property editor (log reports 'not a float value'). it'd be nice if it would :)

i really don't know how much of an effort this involves, so if it's too much hassle, i can still autohotkey my way out of it.

it'm more a matter of standard rather then effort... We could change that for sure, but....
Dunno... Ville, any opinion? A fast way to implement it is auto substitution of "," with ".", but do we want ZGE to look more like Visual basic rather than any other serious RAID?

humm,. not sure, but I do belive that you can change the function of that key in windows settings,. as my American style keyboard has only a period on it's numpad I think this may be a eruopa VS americas issue???

Yes, it is a comma on the numpad on my Swedish keyboard too. I made a decision from the beginning to use "." as decimal separator in ZGE because I've had to chase down so many bugs with different local-settings over the years in other system, and I wanted to focus on other stuff instead. But allowing Windows local setting of decimals in property editor values definitely makes sense so I should fix that now if I can do so easily. The zgeproj-files should always use "." to make them independent of Windows setting. And also the scripts require "." just like in most programming languages.
