PROP not working?

    I like to use prop but it hasnt been working lately. A few minutes ago, I went to change the ctype of portal but instead it changed the life. I tried it several times. Also, when I try to change the temperature using it, it doesn't change it to the temperature i typed in. Is PROP broken or am I just doing something wrong?

    Portal ctype is not used for anything useful (it is used for the fancy particle effect around it)

    setting it won't do anything because it changes all the time.

    Tempurature is in Kelvin.  Kelvin = Celcius + 273.15

    @cracker64 Could PROP support simple compute? Like 273.15+xxx or 15*16

    Then it's easier to set temperature... or I have to figure it out myself

     Oh yeah!

    Cool idea.

     

    And could it just remember the last item you chosen from the list?

    What if the console had a "k+10" way of typing for "kelvin + 10", to automatically add 273.15 to the result? I mean, I am fine with the code being in Kelvin but the console being in Kelvin is weird. Plus, newer users as this one don't know what to do with the console if their temperatures are offset by 273 degrees. Mostly it's just a nuisance to use, but hey, if you're messing around in the console you could at least be aware that whatever you do might slow down the game.
