Problem with an If statement?

Asked by

9 years ago

For some reason this always fires the "else" portion in lines 89-93. I can't figure out why. I printed out "term.owner.Value" right before this line of code and it prints out "none" which is exactly the condition that should make it fire the first part, not the else part.

Btw, I set the StringValue owner to "none" by default.
