So, the skin I'm having problems with is much more complex that this example I'm gonna show you, but it perfectly demonstrate the problem.
I'm making a proportional/scalable/dynamic skin (hence the variables format) and when I'm trying to set a escaped variable it shows this error on the log:
Formula: "[#Variable]" is unknown: (...)
I made this skin that replicates the error:
It resizes when scrolling on it, the target is to keep the corners proportional while doing it.As you can see, it works fine, if you scroll up/down it resizes correctly even though it shows the error I mentioned earlier on the log.
So the question is, what is causing this error? To me it has to do with the escaped variable but this is what happens:
(I'm talking about the IfMatchAction)
If you don't escape [#Width] then it stops being dynamic (which means the corners stop being proportional when resizing it).
If you escape it once [#*Width*] then it works fine but shows the error Formula: "[#Width]" is unknown: ([#Width]*(1/10)).
If you escape it twice [#**Width**] then it stops working at all (to me this should be the correct syntax btw).
Before you say, "use Set Option![:Whistle]( "Whistle")
". Set option is indeed a possibility, but in the real skin I'm not changing a single shape but many, so in terms of number of characters and code readability is just more optimal to set a single variable than set a whole shape option only to change a single parameter of it, without mentioning I'd need a set option bang per shape.
but to answer, yes, this works: But is not what I need.
TIA.
