Problem displaying Health points on GUI.

[Rik_Vargard]

Here's the error message. The white line is the line with the error.
I made a new GUI (4) where the points should be displayed on object 1, wich is a label with no text.
I'm lost... help!  

error (line 14): undefined symbol 'health'

function game_start() {
 string Health;
 SetGlobalInt(10,100);
 if (GetGlobalInt(10)>0) {}
 else Display ("You are dead");
}

function repeatedly_execute() {
 StrFormat(Health,"%d", GetGlobalInt(10));
 SetLabeltext (1,4,Health);
}

Thx for any comment!

The first declaration of Health is made within a function body so it's a local string variable, so you can't use it in another function. You can either declare that string variable within repeatedly_execute or declare a global string outside all functions.

Variant a).  Repeatedly_execute's local string:

function repeatedly_execute() {
string Health;
StrFormat(Health,"%d", GetGlobalInt(10));
SetLabeltext (1,4,Health);
}

Variant b) A global string variable

string Health;

function game_start() {
SetGlobalInt(10,100);
if (GetGlobalInt(10)>0) {}
else Display ("You are dead");
}

function repeatedly_execute() {
StrFormat(Health,"%d", GetGlobalInt(10));
SetLabeltext (1,4,Health);
}

Hey, thx for your help... but ... now I got this errors:

When I used variant a:

Undefined token: 'SetLabelText'

When I used variant b:

Undefined Symbol 'Health'

Note: I have a GUI4, with object1 (label) with no text on it where this should be displayed.

Thx a lot!

Did you follow the Beginners' FAQ? If not, please do so before posting. If so, it doesn't look like it.

I did read it. Before asking I always loose a lot of time trying to find out by myself and mess up a lot of things in my game.  

There was just a little error I did and found out just right now: it's first GUI, then object.. so it's 4,1,... and not 1,4...
And I reverted it by error because I based myself on a tutorial found on the site where they say "Object, GUI" instead of "GUI,Object", like it should be. So now you know it all...  

Anyway, Scorpiorus, thx for your help, it works cool & fine, now!
