I ain’t no Tweet Tweet but pls do, I need knowledge to understand.
Ohhh yeah no that works lemme explain.
Hehe bh taught me this.
Basically, the way JS works (which is what GKC runs on), multiplying a text by one returns the text, but registers it as a number.
Example will help:
Basically, if we have the letter “1”, we can multiply it and it will return 1 but as a number. Make sense? If we multiply the text 5 by 1, we get the number 5. It gets more complicated when we multiply actual letters by 1, and I think in gimkit it just errors.
The reason we would do things like this is so that text can keep, say, zeroes before a one, like 00010000 if we want binary or something. But if we then want to convert it back, we’re going to have to reimplement it as a number, so after doing some things to make it more normal, we can do this to make it a number again.
Too long: JavaScript just works like that.
As long as it’s GKC related sure.
Oh also don’t quote me on this haha it’s been a while.

Then it might be something on the posters part? Incorrectly calling the property?

The only thing I can think of is them not having a property device or setting it up wrong. @Pineappleman?

I’m so lost.
It’s 5 (text) times (by) 1 (number)…
5*1= 5
By the way don’t ask me what happens if you multiply something by 2. It’s not like blackhole was giving video lessons on the forum lol.

“5” times 2 makes “55” since it collates two strings together
