  • I don’t know if this is a bug or an undocumented change.

    Before r376, if we have a JSON like this: 

    	{
	"animals":[
	{"animal":"dog", "frame": "1"}
]	
}

    And then, if we get that value from “frame” with JSON.Get(".frame"), let’s say to set a sprite frame animation, it will treat the “1” as an integer and will set the sprite animation to frame 1, doing a Implicit type conversion.

    But after r376, it only works if we have the “frame” value as an actual integer: 

    	{
	"animals":[
	{"animal":"dog", "frame": 1}
]	
}

    This can cause a few bugs if a developer, for some reason started doing as the first example.

  • Since r376 you can set animation frames by tag too, it is done by checking the type (set frame by number if number, set by tag if string). So this is intentional I think, but yea I have also seen a lot of people on the Construct Discord getting tripped up by this..

    That makes sense. I appreciate the feedback.
