Hey All

Another n00b question

I'm trying to use a variable to save me some lines of code when loading in some sprites, just to save on typing (or copy pasta) if nothing else...

Anyways...



Basically, I'm saying 'ScoreNoLoad' is an Integer in one instance and then trying to use it in a String as well, AppGameKit doesn't like it - Incompatible Types

Something I'm missing? - I was planning on doing this a fair bit to load Sprite Animations and the like :/

I'm new here as well, so I may be mistaken, but I think the scripting language only allows for connecting a string with another string directly. I think you need to prefix your non-string variables and literals with Str( var ) to typecast them as strings. http://www.appgamekit.com/documentation/Reference/Core/Str.htm

Try str(ScoreNoLoad) to convert the integer to a string.



You could use int(mystring$) to convert a string to an integer.
That is what I do for my race track data file.
The file is 256 lines of numbers, but read in as an array of strings then converted to numbers for processing, then back to strings for paths.
My track section images have file names with numbered appendages, and I construct the file name for the images the same way as above.
