If you are using lite-c, make sure SED has saved your source files as C and not WDL. It is easy to not notice... "There is no fate but what WE make." - CEO Cyberdyne Systems Corp. A8.30.5 Commercial

In lite-C, objects are always pointers. So it's now PANEL* mypanel = { ... }. A7 commercial Team / VC++ 2008 Pro homepage \| twitter \| facebook

Thanks again... although i have another stupid question for you at this point. How do I assign the value of a variable to a string. For instance displaying the amount of the player's health stored in a variable. -Johnny Thrash

Important! str_cpy((panelname.pstring)[linenumber],""); //clear existing content.(even first time) str_cat_num((panelname.pstring)[linenumber], "%.3f", thenumber); //display number to 3 decimal places. NOTE: not sure if this is c-script friendly or not. I live lite-c and my WDL is shoddy "There is no fate but what WE make." - CEO Cyberdyne Systems Corp. A8.30.5 Commercial

To avaid str_for_num() printing out all 3 numbers after the comma pass the variable through the int() function. Last edited by ShoreVietam; 04/17/09 19:20.
