textNumber

edit: Sky has a better answer by a lot.

textNumber is an actor variable (so each actor has its own). They are only used/useful with text actors. You can treat the textNumber itself as a double. If the actor does not have any text, setting the textNumber will display the variable. It is generally a good idea not to treat the textNumber as a variable, but purely as a display technique. That is to say, don't do this.

Code: Select all

actor.textNumber+=5;

Instead make a variable such as score and do this.

Code: Select all

score+=5;

text_actor -> Draw Actor -> Script Editor

Code: Select all

textNumber=score;

gameEditor has some problems with handling textNumber and it is just safer to use it like that.
