How would I use strcat to add the number stored in a var?

[Hblade]

I'm trying to make something that will add a textNumber. kinda like a timer but not exactly a timer, I'm using this code:

Code: Select all

double sec;
double minutes;
double hours;


I'm trying to make a fake clock, for a cutscene in the game, but I cant seem to add "hours, secs, and minutes" to the clock using strcat, is there any way that this can be done? My current code is

Code: Select all

strcpy(text, "");
    strcat(textNumber, hours);
    strcat(text, ":");
    strcat(textNumber, minutes);
    strcat(text, ":");
    strcat(textNumber, sec);


But that dosnt seem to work, I get this message

You must use the sprint function, for example:

Code: Select all

sprintf(text, "The time is: %f:%f:%f", hours, minutes, sec);
