try using the VAL() command on the string in question or divide it by a certain value to reduce its double long float length data

will the str$ command make it back into a string? or will it just make a string of that number?

here is the code i am using
it returns the error "Equals must assign a value to a variable" on the same line as the command

myobject$ = get_item_property(items_carried$(whichitem-1299),20)

the function is set up properly as it returns integers when i use different parameters just like its supposed to

edit: whichitem = 1300

The numbers it is returning is probably hexidecimal or something.Try using the HEX$() cammand on it. It converts hexidecimal to a string.
And by the way, the reason it won't store it into myobject$ is because you are trying to store an integer in a string. I don't think that works.
