"Hint" command with variables? Any chance?

[jens198]

Hi folks,

any chance to display a variable (e.g. score) with the nice little "hint" command?

P.S. Whats your favourite way to display the value of variables in a script?

Try this:

_score=500

hint format ["My score is: %1",_score]

or

player sidechat format ["My score is: %1",_score]

The format command will turn variables into strings.  The first variable is inserted where the %1 is.  You can have more than one, %1, %2, etc.

hint format ["%1's score is: %2",name(player),_score]
