Schedule result problem

[kmelchor]

Please help. I have a schedule in which I want to show a particular property set field, conditional upon x equaling (whatever).

This works:

X=0
If [DOOR-OBJECTS:TEST]=True
Then X="test words"
Else X="alternate words"
RESULT=X

Either "test words" or "alternate words" will show up in the schedule, according to the criteria.

It also works if I use numbers instead of text.

HOWEVER,

If I add the actual fields as below, the formula doesn't work. (The formula is shown in the schedule, and not the result.)

X=0
If [DOOR-OBJECTS:TEST]=True
Then X=[DOOR-OBJECTS:SwingDirection]
Else X=[DOOR-OBJECTS:SwingDirection-Reverse]
RESULT=X

I wonder if it has something to do with the data type of the variable? I'm really not that familiar with vb scripting.

Thanks for any suggestions,

Hi kmelchor,

If I were a betting man (and I am) I'd say to try putting your PSD in quotations.

X=0
If [DOOR-OBJECTS:TEST]=True
Then X="[DOOR-OBJECTS:SwingDirection]"
Else X="[DOOR-OBJECTS:SwingDirection-Reverse]"
RESULT=X

Hope this helps,

Dangit Scott,

Every time I go to post an answer I refresh the page and guess what... here we go... another answer completely stolen by you, so I give you a mental high-five and move on with my life... but I can't do it any longer, I have to post an answer to feel like I am at least contributing something...

(put the PSD's in quotes)

oh, and I will usually bet on what Scott says...

Are you kidding me!?! I can't believe it. Works perfectly now.

I was incredibly frustrated yesterday by that. Thanks so much!
