[Twine 1.4.x][Sugarcube 1.x] Math.clamp not accepting $var?

blackknight469 · October 2015

ok so in my story this is one of my widgets:

<<widget modDollars>>
<<set $player.dollars to Math.clamp($player.dollars + $args[0], 0, 100000)>>
<</widget>>

with that:

<<modDollars +5>>

or

<<modDollars -15>>

works as intended, however:

<<modDollars -$item.cost>>

fails and seems to 0 out the $player.dollars $var.

am i missing something?
i have tried a few different ways to insert the $var into the widget with no luck so far.(several widgets like this and all fail when using a $var not a #)

The problem is that you're trying to use a parsed argument slot, but you're using an expression.

Try something like the following:

<<widget modDollars>>\
<<set $player.dollars to Math.clamp($player.dollars + eval($args.full), 0, 100000)>>\
<</widget>>
