I'm trying to add new alterable strings to an active object through its properties by clicking the new button.
I get to String J and then I cannot create any more alterable values. Is this normal?
I'm sure I can work around by setting them up at the start of level, but I would prefer not to if possible.

I'm sure I've set up Alt. Values X and Y through the level editor. I almost always use those to store X and Y coords, so it sounds like there's a problem with MMF2. I have an old build (249) so I can't comment on the current version. Would be interesting to know!

Objects in MMF2 don't dynamically allocate memory, so they have a specific amount of memory allocated for a specific # of values, strings and flags when you create them, and you can't raise that amount. You could always store it in linked arrays or whatnot, but most people will not exceed 26 values and 10 strings.

Ignore my last reply; I just realised that you were talking about strings not values. I get the same problem. Weird eh.

It's not a problem, it's just the way it is. Like Pixeltheif said, there are only 10 alterable strings for every active object, A through to J. And for alterable values there are 26, A through to Z.
Global strings and values are different however! UNLIMITED! After you reach Alterable Value Z, it creates AA, then AB, then AC and so on forever. This is for strings and variables. Pretty nifty.

Yeah I just used an alternate method.
Thanks, everyone.
