Displaying integers?

[McHale]

Im trying to write a script that shows variable numbers. Is it even possible to display integers as text on the screen?

Maybe theres a special way to convert an int to a string? Please help.   :-\

Yup! 'tis, but ya better check out the cutscenes... board.   Oh, and search the
Ed.Depot for already made scrolls.

Ya might get lucky, m8

Hmmm I don't think it's possible to display integers. I need to somehow get the numbers 0 to 100, 000 to be able to display on screen(depending on a certain condition)... Is there a script around that does something like this?

It sure is possibly... by use of the format command...

eg.

hint format ["Number: %1", num ]

Where num is your variable. The %1 in the line will be replaced in the hint box by the variable you specify after the comma... you can also specify mulitple variables:

hint format ["Value 1: %1 \nValue 2: %2 \nValue 3: %3", num1,num2,num3 ]

The %1, %2 and %3 will be replaced by the variables after the comma. Remember to keep the order correct

The \n in there just makes the text jump down to the next line... it has no effect on the variables... happy coding

... and dont forget that you can do the same thing with titletext:

eg.

Titletext [format ["Value 1: %1 \nValue 2: %2 \nValue 3: %3", num1,num2,num3],[plain down] ]
