replace a variable with the value of another variable

I run the first line in this script I get a value of 23 but when I run them once after the other, the second line gives an error;

Code: Select all

prevAlertTemp = indigo.variables[77213772]
indigo.variable.updateValue(794594968, prevAlertTemp)

>>> prevAlertTemp = indigo.variables[77213772]
>>> indigo.variable.updateValue(794594968, prevAlertTemp)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
ArgumentError: Python argument types in
VariableCmds.updateValue(VariableCmds, int, Variable)
did not match C++ signature:
updateValue(_VariableCmds {lvalue}, boost::python::api::object elem, CCString value)

Can you tell me what's wrong?

thanks!

This:

Code: Select all

prevAlertTemp = indigo.variables[77213772]

returns an Indigo variable instance. It contains an Indigo value attribute, but it is more than just a value it is the entire Indigo variable object including: name, value, folder, etc.

To access the value, you'll will then want to use:

Code: Select all

prevAlertTemp.value
