Reply To: [BUG] Global blackboard variable names with slashes are not behaving as expected

[Gavalakis]

Hello and very sorry for late reply due to summer vacation!

To be honest, I wouldn’t recomend using slashes for the name variables since slashes are used to determine the usage of Global Blackboard if any, more than categorizing the variables in the menu. Even with adding a limit of 2 splits, if you are using a variable name with a slash, while it does work correctly in runtime (BBParameters is linked to Variable), it is done so via unexpected behaviour. If for example the first string of the split (on the left of the slash), is accidentaly also the name of a Global Blackboard, that means that things will not work correctly because BBParameter will try to resolve the target variable via a Global Blackboard of that name.
With that said, I could probably change the character for determining Global Blackboard to something else other than a slash (like for example a “@” char), or find some other solution to differentiate the two of them and thus make using slashes more predictable.

Let me know what you think.
Thanks!
