displaying a variable

[deLusan]

Folks - Im a REAL newbie and trying to display a variable from a text actor. Sonicfire has explained this previously, but i just dont get it. Please help.

Sonicfire says:
" in your actor go to "Text" and enter the amount of decimals you want to display your variable with. (e.g. one zero (0) or more (000)).
then choose "draw actor" event -> script editor and enter "textNumber = yourvariable;"

But -
(1)when i go to "Text", where do i enter the amt of decimals i want ?(none - i want a whole number).
(2) how do i display this variable on the game screen?

I am trying to decrese this variable by 1 each turn, and want to see it displayed at all times.

Can someone go thru it in step-by-step, click-here-click-there fashion for me?

I'm not sure but somthing like this

Code: Select all

textNumber=round.yourVar;

or

Code: Select all

textNumber=round(yourVar);

or even

Code: Select all

 textNumber = yourVar

if you do not add or subtract numbers less than one(numbers that are not decimals)
but I am not a script master but that should work, maybe PM novice bout' it, or even the Game Editor maker Makslane. They should know EDIT: Must know!

you don't need to use the round function when using a variable that has no decimal places.
