I was wondering if there was any sort of way at all that you could somehow transfer a changing number variable to a set string variable? Basically, I want the number to be somehow transferred so i can put it in a text command... Sorry if the question sounds stupid. BTW its on DBC, but if u got a DBP code too that will be fine.

your question is NOT stupid. It is a question ALL programmers have asked-- it's a sign that you are learning...if I understand you correctly the answer is NO.... You cannot alter the variable name once it has been set. If I misunderstood then I apologize.

Thx for your help, not at my pc so i cant try your code at the moment, but Ill get a laptop soon enough

Well there seems to be some confusion on what I am asking. Here is an example of what I could use this for. In an RPG battle, a guy does 12 damage to you. Your health now is reduced by 12. This must be in a text format, or string. I need a code that can do this. I know that you can easily do this and print the numerical variable, but since text only deals with strings, I need the variable to be changed to a string.

Or I could just skip all this if someone knows how to custom the print command to have different fonts, but I dont know if this is possible. Thx

Yes, you basically want to convert your number into text format, right? That's what's in my first post

Print is not good for graphic games really. Try to use text mostly.

IanM, I tried your code and it works great. THX a bunch it is exactly what I was looking for. Since I got home I used it about 40 times on my different ideas and they work perfect. THX again, I can't believe I forgot about that str$() code...
