How to show thousands separator for variable?

[sapiboonggames]

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:

Code: Select all

$ money += 10000

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:

Code: Select all

default jackpotfunds = 1000
$ money = '{:,}'.format(jackpotfunds)

In the game itself, I’m using the following to display that variable with the comma separator :

Code: Select all

"You now have [money]"

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

Code: Select all

$ money = '{:,}'.format(jackpotfunds)

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:

Code: Select all

"[jackpotfunds:,]"

That did the trick. Thanks Remix!
