Using SpriterEngine::Variable in SpriterPlusPlus

[Alejandro Ramirez]

I am working around with metadata in spriterplusplus in the hopes that I can alter rendering style based on a variable inlaid into spritermodels.

This is my code thus far:

        SpriterEngine::Variable *myIdentity = new SpriterEngine::Variable("myId", SpriterEngine::Variable::VariableType::VARIABLETYPE_INT);

        myIdentity->getDefaultValue()->setIntValue(1);

        Avatar->getVariables()->pushBackVariable(myIdentity);

        std::cout<<Avatar->getIntValue("myId")<<"\n";

However, what I get back is a 0 when I was expecting a 1. If this worked my hopes would have been to do something like this in the render code:

    void SfmlImageFile::renderSprite(UniversalObjectInterface * spriteInfo) {

        if (spriteInfo->getIntValue("myId") == 1){

            //...

        } else {

            //...

        }

Can anyone offer insight into my dilemma?
