showing numerical variables with commas

[OldFootnote]

Hi everybody!

I have a really simple question that I can't find the answer to.

I have this money system in my game, and I show the player how much money they have with a variable and simple text in a screen:

Code: Select all

default gold = 10000

screen money:
	frame:
        	xpadding 5
        	ypadding 5
        	xalign 0.86
        	yalign 0.05
        
        	hbox:
        		text "[gold] G"

This works fine, except instead of '10,000' the text will show '10000'. I tried putting a comma in the variable, but doing so makes it so I get an error every time I try to do math on it ('-=' '+=' etc.)

My question is, is there a way to add commas to large-numbered variables when you want to show those variables to a player?

Use python formatting:

Code: Select all

text "{:,} G".format(gold)

Thanks! It works like a charm.

Does this also work when you want to show the variable in the script?

for example:

Code: Select all

label moneycheck:

	mc "I have [gold] left."
	

Edit: Nevermind, I figured it out. Thanks again for the help!
