set wall break mode of plug-in object

[Pi_]

I can't set the wall break mode from inside the script of a PIO that is inserted in a wall.

SetObjectVariableInt(pioHandle,124,4) is not working

altough getobjectvariableInt(pioHandle,124) gives me the right value

is this a bug?

[Hippocode]

Are you sure it's supposed to be an int ?

[Pi_]

yes,

it is in the vectorscript Appendix,

I discovered getobjectvariableint is gives the default break mode of the plugin, not the instance break mode.

setobjectvariableint doesn't change anything (not the default value or the instance value)

could it be it is only available for SDK plugins?

Maybe it depends on where/when you SET that variable. Where do you make the "set" call ?
