[dosa0733]

Hey all I'm trying to display gold on the screen but theirs a problem I create the gold amount first with "$ coins = 0" inside my label then I just want to add to the pile of gold "$ coins += 1" and i get an error that says gold is not defined I also have this part as my display window

Code: Select all

$ a = 0
$ b = 0
        
screen simple_example_inventory:   
    frame xalign 0.5 ypos 0.1:
        vbox:
                    $ a = "[coins]" # amount of coins 
                    $ b = "coins" # just the text coins
                    text "[b]: [a]"

I don't get it.

Why don't you just keep the text "coins" as just "coins?" Why does it need to be a variable? Are you planning on altering the text throughout the game?

Also, why don't you just use "$ a += 1" to increase the number? Why do you need to redefine it elsewhere?

I solved the problem whit it . As for the reason of writing like that i will add more currency types dependig on the region where the player is playing in the game

Code: Select all

default currency = "EUR"
default amount = 100
       
screen simple_example_inventory():   
    frame xalign 0.5 ypos 0.1:
        text "[currency]: [amount]"

You can convert on the fly when moving through labels and switching locations.
