Font Draw HELP !

[imsry]

What is it you are trying to achieve?
Using font draw with a variable. Like: put variable,"hello"
im not using put because it will create a white line in background picture

What is the problem you are having?
Turing is not letting me put a variable in Font.Draw


Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
i have tried the following:
Font.Draw (number,") Is it a mammal?", 110, 325, questionfont, red)
Font.Draw (number, 110, 325, questionfont, red)
Font.Draw (number ") Is it a mammal?", 110, 325, questionfont, red)

Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long)
var number : int :=0

var questionfont : int %font for the question
questionfont := Font.New ("ISOCT:30:bold")

number +=1
Font.Draw (number,") Is it a mammal?", 110, 325, questionfont, red) %question

then when i run turring says "argument is the wrong type"
[/syntax]

Please specify what version of Turing you are using
4.1

Because the argument is of the wrong type, please use the right type. You can check Font.Draw documentation, and it will tell you that it's expecting a string.

Also, commas don't join things together, they separate arguments. put takes an arbitrary number of arguments.

; D Thanks your the best !!

hmm i still dont get it X.X what string i put in it??
do i put
var text:string := "is it a mammal?"

Font.Draw ("is it a mammal?":text,100,100,red,question font:number)

[Tony]

check out the examples, click link -> Font.Draw

i tried that.. it dont help much
i want to make a question and sometime i made it so that it skips certain questions. Therefore i need a variable that can count by1 to show the player what question they are on.
which would be

var number : int :=0
number +=1

that does the math but i need to put into font draw. ex number) is it a mammal?

[Tony]

So you need a single string to display. You can concatenate strings with +, as in "foo" + "bar".

You can't join numbers with strings, because that behaviour is not defined, but you can turn an integer into a string with intstr

: D thanks i think it works now it lets me run it

Font.Draw (intstr (number)+") Is it a mammal?", 110, 325, questionfont, red) %question

this seems right. right?

[Tony]

That seems right.

But also, don't be afraid to just try things out. It's ok to make mistakes

I wish that were true in all languages. I'm learning assembly right now... that quote does not apply at all. i put a 2 instead of a 9 and the whole computer starts displaying random symbols and beeping like crazy.

My math teacher actually made a mistake once and his code dynamically erased itself right before his eyes...
