Hi,
How exactly do you write to a dictionary?

/ahem/
Setting a key.
Puzzle: set key “bar” in dictionary “foo” as “0.125”.

eeeeyup… have a special key i hit when i want it to update in console to check on it.
the error is pretty random though.

the dictionary is updating a value as a mouse drags a jqueryUI slider.
I am using Jquery from a separate js file send the variable to a Verge3D puzzle procedure.

I see. Try to output the dictionary’s value before updating its key and see if there is anything unusual.

that’s exactly what i have already.
the keys store the value of the % of completion each corresponding object has in revealing their 3D form.

each user input, it retrieves the previous interaction’s last value, to pick up where it left off.

EDIT: ok.. so i fixed this problem.. and this is an oddball one..
when i first made this dictionary..i had initialized the dictionary with all key’s item values being text “” puzzles.

however they wouldn’t be updated as numeric values.
when i put in “0” puzzles, instead of the text “” puzzles, it worked.. but then froze with the TypeError: 0 is read-only” described above…

i tried “null” logic puzzles, or leaving them empty, and got “object “.this_” is null .. and the error was coming from my animation tween puzzle.

so.. just now.. i used the text “” puzzles.. WITH the “convert to number” puzzles on all of them…
and the error isn’t happening anymore.

don’t know which end that issue was on , the jquery code or the puzzle dictionary…

wow, ok then!

any suggestions you have for storing numerical data, instead of dictionaries?
just use a list of lists of vars?

actually just found none of these issues stemmed from writing numbers to dictionaries.

it was all from the tween.js lib of visual logic not liking my “.this” usage.

fixed though… it was when there was no “this” to say was “this”
