Putting values in strings

[UltraHammer]

I have a global value named "Pies", and it's set to 8.

I have a string object, and I want it to--at the start of the frame--have this alterable string:

"I have 8 pies"

And when playing the game, as I collect more pies, I want it to then say,

"I have 9 pies", "I have 10 pies", ext.

In other words; I want to put alterable values inside strings. But either that's not possible, or I'm not doing it right.

without seeing your code, i'm not sure what you are doing, but am guessing you are not using the str$ command before using a number in a string

The str$() expression convert values to strings.
Example : "I have "+str$(Global Value)+" pies." (mind the spaces)

Yippie, thanks, that worked!
