Displaying variables in strings

[MONOLITH]

Just a quick question.

Does anyone know how to display a variable in a string e.g hint box. For example i want to display the score of a side in a hint box.

I know in visual basic you do it like this msgbox "blah" & variable name

Anyone know how to do it in flashpoint?

Thanks.

hint format ["%1", variable]

Something like that.

Yes.

hint format["Health: %1",getDammage player]

For instance.

k - gonna have to top that then  ;D

hint format ["%1\n2", var1,var2]

would even let you display 2 variables

%1 is the placeholder for the first variable after the output-string, %2 for the second one.

You can also go on, using such placeholders - e.g: %1 %2 %3
and so on.

hint format ["%1 %2 %1", var1, var2]

would also be possible and result in:

var1 var2 var1
