So my "Healer" variable is showing up as a float when I use "sqv" -- shows "Healer=0.000" rather than "Healer= (00000000)" like every other ref variable. I thought it might be related to the string (there's a short called "Heal") or a needing a new game, but it doesn't matter -- no matter what I do, it's a float, and therefore the script doesn't work.

How did you declare your healer variable? And how is it getting assigned?
