OK... So, Tim figured out that I was using the wrong property name. Now my question is, can you combine variables? That is, perform mathematical functions on variables? I don't see any way to do this in the reference manual, and when I try something like <name>_numPieces + <name>_numPieces, I get something like 10 + 10 instead of 20. I want to be able to add the number of cards in 2 decks together, and trigger on the resulting number. So, any ideas? Or am I missing something with the math and this is way easier than I'm making it. Thanks. Dave

The game starts with this deck empty, then cards are added during the game, and then they are finally removed from the deck. I've been trying to use the <name>_numCards property, but it doesn't seem to do anything. I've set a trigger on each card that when a card is drawn from the deck, it should trigger if <name>_numCards = 0. Nothing happens. I added a text label to each card to monitor the value of <name>_numCards, and I never get a number, all I get is <name>_numCards, never a number. What am I doing wrong? Is there something I need to do to have the <name>_numCards property work?
