  • Hey,

    I notice many vanilla behaviors have an action with an incoming parameter where a switch statement is used. Since you can't see the editor side aspects, I can't figure out how to use a combo type parameter with a switch;

    In c2, the parameters were numbers. I tried changing the json file to return a number, but that fails. Idk, looking for an example if anyone has one.

    What I want is: DoSomeAction(Choice, num){switch(choice)}

    Where in the editor, Choice is a drop down of options I have defined.

    Code

    	ActionId(choice, num)
{
 switch (choice)
 {
 case 0:
 
 console.log('item_one:', num);
 alert('item_one:', num);
 break;
 case 1:
 
 console.log('item_two:', num);
 alert('item_two:', num);
 break;

 case 2:
 
 console.log('item_three:', num);
 alert('item_three:', num);
 break;
 
 default:
 console.log('Invalid choice');
 
 }
}

  • Wait, I'm confused,

    I thought I got some error when I tried to treat a combo parameter with a switch.

    Thanks. I probably did something stupid that I can't figure out now, because the below works just fine.
