/c if game.player.selected then game.player.selected.alert_parameters.alert_message=game.player.selected.alert_parameters.alert_message.."what" end
The modding docs say this table is read and write, but at least this alert_message is read only (or broken) otherwise the command above would not silently fail for me (it doesn't change it).

You have to read the entire alert_parameters value into a local variable, modify what ever sub-values you want, then write the entire thing back in one go.

That still didn't fix my issue. My game disagrees with you.

I can't read the script in your screenshot, it's too complicated. Try this script instead:
Code: Select all
/c game.print(serpent.block(game.player.selected.alert_parameters)); game.player.selected.alert_parameters = {alert_message = "Hello world", show_alert=true, show_on_map=true}; game.print(serpent.block(game.player.selected.alert_parameters))

Your code is still bugged, you are setting alert_message on a copy.
