Yes, I understand you can do that. Here's some code:
health$= "100"
set text font "Enviro"
Set text size 30
Set text to bold
tw = text width(charname$)
th = text height("A")
create bitmap 17, tw, th
text 0, 0, charname$
get image 17, 0, 0, tw, th
delete bitmap 17
sprite 17, 300, 503, 17
This code does work,
however I intend to place a number over the sprite - a variable called "health". I can't use anything but strings in this scenario, and since I would obviously want to subtract from the health variable...what would I do?
Thanks a lot...
