"set '$V' '`get_text "test" `' " sets the var $V to string "text"
then strangely "get_var '$V'" sets the var $V to 0.0
but "get_text `get_var $V` " does not reset the var $V to 0.0
very disappointing

why are you executing "get_var '$V'" then?

Of course to make some animation in the forum only ^^
You wanna know why ?
I used it because it was part of an original backquoted long script that does not need extra get_text `` (and can't have it) from a format="..`...get_var $V...`..." in a skin and I was not aware about this bug
I copied the action to use it in a pad and discover that get_var in fact resets the variable
of course I fixed the script by finding ways with WORK AROUNDs
get_text `get_var $V`
param_add '' '`get_var $V`'
are both working without resetting the var
To do the same thing script differs depending on context it is used in (in short query vs action)
(format, or pad_name or custom_button name or query vs action or pad or custom button or multibutton)
but worth : The same script in query or action do not do the same thing at all :
query : get the contents of the variable (whenever it is float text bool int ... text representation for color)
action : reset the text variable to zero or get something (content for float and int; 64bit integer value cast to float for color; nothing for text). let put color out of scope... need its own investigations (specially regarding part of internal storage representation of float exposing as 32bit hexadecimal values, accessible via param_cast text n)
A get_var $V action out of `` resetting text var is simply a strange bug
why doesn't same get_var $V reset numeric variables to 0.0 as well ?
if get_var $V was returning anything or nothing useful that would be an unadjusted feature
but resetting some variables to 0.0 changing type while getting the value of other depending on content is not conceivable in any way and can't be a feature

Final line in the videoskin:
Automatic Ask the DJ showing with sender filter
note: reading askthedj appears temporary in get_display ...

Should be fixed in 6747 (and set_var added so you can assign a string to a variable directly too)

Thanks, sure that will help ^^
Both will make scripting easier and reduce scripts complexity and make them more readable ^^
thus no side effect "set myvar 'xxx'" gpo on creating var xxx and setting both vars myvar and xxx to zero
or directly set the content of var xxx into var myvar
good point
will set_var allow "set_var myvar -42" to store -42 in myvar directly instead of subsctracting 42 from myvar ?
that could be a third good point :)
EDIT: tested that is working ^^ good news
