	==Attribute values==		==Attribute values==
	An attribute always consists of a name and a value. The name of an attribute is usually written in capital letters, and uses underscores in place of spaces. ~~The value~~ must ~~always~~ be ~~a number. It can be either a~~ positive or ~~a negative number. The number can also be a~~ decimal ~~number (I.e., the value is not necessarily a whole number~~).		An attribute always consists of a name and a value. The name of an attribute is usually written in capital letters, and uses underscores in place of spaces. Values must be numbers (positive, negative, or decimal).

	Some components have properties which are also reflected in attributes. Properties such as the color of the component are present both as a dedicated property and as an attribute. ~~By changing~~ the property, the attribute ~~is changed as well. When~~ the ~~attribute is changed, the property is changed as well~~.		Some components have properties which are also reflected in attributes. Properties such as the color of the component are present both as a dedicated property and as an attribute. Changing either the property or the attribute automatically updates the other.

	~~Each~~ component ~~which can have attributes has their own list of attributes. When a given area has~~ an attribute ~~with a specific~~ name~~, another area may or may~~ not ~~have an attribute with the same name as well. When 2 components have an attribute with the same name,~~ their values are also still set per component. That means that they may coincidentally have the same value, but when the value of the attribute of one component is changed, the value of the attribute of the other component is not automatically changed as well.		Attributes are unique to each component; sharing an attribute name between components does not link their values.

	Attributes can ~~also~~ be changed during a session~~. This can be done either~~ via [[Event]]s or ~~via~~ [[TQL]]~~. Events, such as AREA_SET_ATTRIBUTE or ZONE_SET_ATTRIBUTE, can be used in the {{software}} to change the values of attributes. Attributes can also be changed using TQL~~, ~~which means that attributes can be changed as a result of an~~ Excel ~~calculation~~.		Attributes can be changed during a session via [[Event]]s (e.g., AREA_SET_ATTRIBUTE) or [[TQL]], allowing updates from Excel calculations.
