Custom prop weirdness

[Brian Yennie]

Xavier,

It also works in a test button, and still yet if I declare a global 
elsewhere with the same name as the local array.
I don't see how this is anything other than an error in your script 
somewhere... am I missing something?

In what way is the engine confused?
