Bug(?) in CheckField's visual condition display.

[guyboots_thunderbroParticipant]

When dealing with booleans, the Check Field condition renders like this in the canvas:

“If BlackboardVariable.BooleanValue”

regardless of whether you’re checking “BlackboardVariable.BooleanValue == true” or “BlackboardVariable.BooleanValue == false.”

That’s because of this line:

1 2 3 4

return string.Format("{0}.{1}{2}", agentInfo, fieldName, checkValue.varType == typeof(bool) ? "" : OperationTools.GetCompareString(comparison) + checkValue.ToString());

This makes it hard to tell at a glance whether you’re doing a “is true” or “is false” kind of check.

Compare this to CheckVariable, which does this:

1 2 3 4 5

protected override string info { get { return valueA + " == " + valueB; } }

Which results in this (always obvious) display on the GUI

“If BlackboardParameter == True” or “If BlackboardParameter == False”

Hello and sorry for the late reply due to Eastern!

Hmm. I did this by design so that is “looks like” more similar to what is looking like in code when checking boolean variables, like for example:

if (myVariable){ //... }

But I can see that it can be confusing. I just removed the special case boolean check as to be more consistent with clear.

Thanks!
