[Solved] Displaying Variables in GUI buttons/labels

[thehivetyrant]

HI,
   I have set up a global variable of 10 and created a GUI button and am trying to make the text show '10' from that global variable.

PlayerHP = 10

I have tried @PlayerHP@ and %PlayerHP but they just show the text but not the variable value.

Any help would be appreciated. thankyou.

Labelname.Text = String.Format("%d", PlayerHP);

Thanks, that worked great, i apologiose for the new thread for this since it did seem very elementary.

...dear watson?

No need to apologize. It is indeed very basic, but I asked the exact same question 2-3 years ago

One small point to add: if you haven't already, do look up Format in the AGS manual, as %d will work only for integer variables. If you want to display strings, floating-point numbers, etc, you need a different symbol (or symbols) following the per cent sign.
