I'm using String.Format to try and turn the value of an integer into a readable string but I'm getting an error every time I try to use it.
my code looks like this

Code: ags

//main global script file
int gold;
gold = 300;
export gold;
String goldAsText = String.Format("%d", gold);
export goldAsText;

and i keep getting the error:
Error (Line 5): cannot assign value to global pointer.

If anyone can help me figure out what's happening here, that would be great.

Is it possible to put an image in an area like the main menu and use something like a hotspot and a click function to open up a web page in a player's browser?
If there is, it'd be cool to know how to do it but if not I suppose I'll have to figure out some other way of achieving this.

Is it possible to create an AGS game that uses a first person camera perspective?

I've tried my own method where i have the player's Helmet UI on the whole screen and then putting an invisible sprite in the game but it doesn't seem to work right. and it appears to go through the bottom of the helmet and then not appear on screen again, forcing me to have to restart the game.

I was wondering if anyone has developed or if anyone knows about a plugin or library that my team could use to create a DRM system similar to the one used with Monkey Island's Dial-A-Pirate code wheel.

Any responses are much appreciated
