Savegames and boolean variables

[NoQ]

Just noticed a case when the following code

Code: Select all

			debug(me,someBooleanVariable);
			if (someBooleanVariable==false) {
				debug(me,"x",someBooleanVariable);
			}
			if (someBooleanVariable!=false) {
				debug(me,"y",someBooleanVariable);
			}

prints

Code: Select all

2 false
2 x false

before saving/loading, but prints

Code: Select all

2 false
2 y false

after saving/loading (that is, the variable isn't equal to false, but it prints false when debugging it)

Maybe because it is saved as a string "false" witch is Boolean true (like any other not empty string).

And what returns this code?

Code: Select all

         debug(me,someBooleanVariable);
         if (!someBooleanVariable) {
            debug(me,"x",someBooleanVariable);
         }
         if (someBooleanVariable) {
            debug(me,"y",someBooleanVariable);
         }
