Hi All,
I know this is gonna seem really lame to many but I've just bought BMax and it doesn't seem to be able to do this simple task.
All I want to do is ask the user to enter a number and use that number to control the speed of something but BMax doesn't seem to be able to accept integer input. Is this right?
This is incredibly frustrating and the documentation is next to useless on the subject. I've used BlitzPlus in the past and never come across this problem. Please Help!!
Thanks in advance 3Ddoofus
