Line's tag 588.

Post by Ravick »

Hi there,

I'm trying to assign a line the tag '588', but the field in the editor's screem gets just like the following:

It seems to be messing up with the calling script. What is this "- '80" thing? :?:

Where's the problem here? I can see the 588 properly being shown.
The 80 is merely the number of the Script Execute special.

I have done this before quite a few times much to my annoyance. What you've done is mistakenly type a grave accent (`) before entering a number (this can be done very easily if you hit tab a lot like I do). GZDB then interprets this as a string, and names the numeric tag 588 with the erroneous string "`80".

It's nothing to worry about, since the tag still has the numeric value you've set it (588), but it is distracting, I grant that. Haven't figured out a way of renaming tags yet myself so I don't know if you can "correct" this. But if you try it in-game nothing should be amiss.

You can change them in the "View used tags" window. (Edit>View Used Tags... or Shift+F2)
The window itself has instructions on how to do that.
