Hello guys, I'm back with another question
As the subject says, do you know how to show thousands separator for variable?
Let's say: Right now, if I show money by using [money], it's displayed as "10000", is there any way to display it as "10,000" or "10.000"?

Thanks!

The obvious way: transform number to string, insert separator as needed and print that string instead of raw number. You can easily do that using format: $ money_string = '{:,}'.format(money)

Correct way would be to define your class to hold money, with proper methods to add and substract money with invariant checking and override __repr__() magic method, so your class would be properly displayed whenever you need it with actual values.

I used the transform number to string method, and it works great.

I looked at the explanation and scratched my head. I guess I don't even understand a lot of python yet.

I don't really understand the 2nd method too
But the 1st method is simple enough.
You just need to display money_string variable after transforming it instead of the previous money variable.

Hi team,

I’m trying to get this to work myself but I’m clearly doing something wrong. Can someone spot-check my work here?

My variable is named 'jackpotfunds'. Prior to the start label of the script I’ve got:
In the game itself, I’m using the following to display that variable with the comma separator :
but it's literally coming up:

"You now have [money]"

rather than displaying the formatted string.

I primarily want to use this in an inventory screen (where the coding may be different) but I figure if I need to get that working in regular dialogue first and then hopefully it won't be different for the other screen.

Help?

Your line is only running once and the point where you have the output is either before that or through a save that did not include that variable

As [] interpolation can use pyFormat, just use:

That did the trick. Thanks Remix!
