    [SOLVED] is_real not returning false for a non-number

    var test = noone if (is_real(test)) { show_debug_message("rawr") } Why does this if statement return true? Should I be using "noone" for blank variables and resetting a variable to nothing? Also, should I be using is_real to check if a variable is a number or not?
