[Solved]Inserting a variable into a variable

[GMHLee]

Hi all,

Sorry, couldn't think of the correct terminology but anyways, following in from a previous thread where i wanted to streamline my code, I have this for the moment:

Code: Select all

screen ava_card_text(x1,y1,x2,y2,y3,y4,y5,y6):
    text "Affection:  " style "ultd":
        xanchor 1.0
        xpos x1
        ypos y1
    text "[ava_stats.affection]" style "ultd":
        xanchor 0
        xpos x2
        ypos y1
        ...repeat

Now as i have more than one char I would have to do this multiple times, but given that the only thing that changes between characters for this code is the name and positions I could just do this once but have the name be passed in as a variable like below example (won't work of course):

Code: Select all

screen card_text(x1,y1,x2,y2,y3,y4,y5,y6,char_name):
    text "affection:  " style "ultd":
        xanchor 1.0
        xpos x1
        ypos y1
    text "["+char_name+"_stats.affection]" style "ultd":
        xanchor 0
        xpos x2
        ypos y1
        ...repeat

Any help appreciated for what the correct syntax would be to get this working, thanks.

Code: Select all

text "[char_name.affection]" style "ultd"

Code: Select all

use screen card_text(..., ava_stats)

Well, that should have been an obvious spot XD
Much appreciated.
