what goofy thing am i doing to prevent assigning 3 to the member property of the z instance? code prints out "0", but i expect it to print "3". thanks.

class DoSomething

        def main
            z = GlobalVars()
            z.ticksPerSecond = 3
            print z.ticksPerSecond
                    
    class GlobalVars

        var _ticksPerSecond as decimal
        
        pro ticksPerSecond as decimal
            get
                return _ticksPerSecond
            set
                _ticksPerSecond = .ticksPerSecond

Replace

set
    _ticksPerSecond = .ticksPerSecond

with

set
    _ticksPerSecond = value

and it will work. If you didn't know already, "value" is a special keyword that acts as an implicit parameter for the set accessor.

thanks! yes, i know from the cobra documentation that "value" could be used, but it never occurred to me that it was required.
