checking event coordinates?

[shintashi]

Code:

p $game_map.events[5].x  
p $game_map.events[5].y

so I figured out I could do something like the above,

when I tried to do a conditional for

Code:

$game_map.events[5].y == 29

I noticed nothing happened, even with the response was supposed to be simple, like

Code:

@>Conditional Branch: Script: $game_map.events[5].y == 29
@>Text: Testing
@>
:Else
@>
:Branch End
@>

How do I query the coordinates of an event and have the computer respond properly?
