Text Log

[Hack.saw]

I'm trying to create a log that says when ever a hit lands and how much it does, if theres a critical hit, if an ability was used, etc. for my game. I've been working on it for a while but can't seem to figure out how each time there is a new entry the ones before it will move up a space then the top one will disapear, heres the code I came up with so far. If you don't understand it thats ok becaue it dosnt work

code:

if PAchat (1) = 1 and then             locate (chat,70)             put "You charge!"             chat-=1             elsif PAchat (2)= 1 then             locate (chat,70)             put "Your Heroic Strike hits for ", DMG+4," damage!"             chat-=1             end if

I know a thousand reason why it dosn't work but can't seem to fix it. If I put PAchat (1):=0 at end the text disapears right after writing it down, but its in a loop so I have to reset them to 0 so it dosn't keep repeating Right now I'm just worrying about getting the log to work ill add in it cuts down after 10 lines or w/e. Hope this makes sense if you want the rest of my code ill throw it in.
