Summary0001656: Replace data -> <argument> can be used with a numeric variable resulting in crash
DescriptionWhen using when-argument or every-time-argument modify variable will allow you to pick <argument> to assign to a numeric variable. This results in an immediate crash. I was trying the idea from this thread: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,53155.0.html

Event was:

every-time-argument
-->rand-multiple-of
---->1
---->2
......
---->7
-->=
---->wing(0)
---->0
-->modify-variable
---->wing(0)
----> <argument>

As soon as argument was selected FRED crashed.


Additional InformationOriginally found in TBP 3.6.9 inferno version of FRED but confirmed in 3.6.10 trunk build dated 04/03.

 As I thought this one is caused by the fact that <argument>s are strings but you're sticking them into a numeric variable. Obviously this doesn't make the slightest bit of sense and the game asserts or crashes as a result.

The FREDding solution is to use the string-to-int SEXP to convert from one to the other. It's currently hiding in the training SEXP section for some reason I still don't understand but I'll move it soon enough.

The coding solution is to stop FRED allowing you to stick a string <argument> into a numeric variable.

 Changed my mind. You can still use the argument with the variable and now it shouldn't crash.
