money counter

[rhoymand]

I'm developing an rpg/sim game using MF2. my current problem is making a money counter that tracks how much money the player has. the counter/score object won't handle decimals (I think) and I don't see how I can add a "$" in front of the numbers.

I want the expression to be like this: when object is destroyed add $10.50 to money counter.

The counter object can handle decimals just fine.
And you could ad the $ sign through an extra text/image bit in the frame.
Alternativly you could merge the info from the "money"counter with the $ sign in a string/text object.

Just to clarify what Langol said:

[events]
* when object is destroyed
- Counter: add 10.50 to Counter

* always
- String: set alterable string to Str$(value( "Counter" ))+"$"
[/events]

I very seldom display a value through counters, as I have alot more control when using strings
