Need help with variables in parseText!

[aaronhance 1]

When I run the script there are no errors, but the variable values are not in the hint. Thanks in advance for any help.

_str = parseText format ["
<t color='#38DB0F' size='1.2'>Money: %1</t>
<br/>
<tsize='0.2'></t>
<br/>
<br/>
<t color='#D9B398' size='1.5'>Inventory: </t>
<br/>
%4
<br/>
<t color='#38DB0F' size='1.2'>Space Used: %2/%3</t>
<br/>
",
(player getVariable "money"), 
(player getVariable "usedInvSpace"), 
(player getVariable "maxInvSpace"), 
hasOrange
];
hint _str;

Worked as written for me in the editor. To be honest I was a little sad I didn't have Orange.

I don't get the values. so it would say "Money:" instead of "Money: 1200"

You're sure that those values are set properly on whatever player you're checking? For my test I had to manually set the values before running it.

yeah, I set them on my player init script.

money = 0;

maxInvSpace = 20;
usedInvSpace = 0;

itemOrange = 1;

invAction = player addAction["Inventory", "inventory.sqf"];
//getOrangeAction = player addAction[];

Can you upload your mission somewhere maybe? Like I said, I just copied your code, changed _str to str1 (so i could paste into the debug console) and did a few setVariables and it worked just fine for me.

You're setting global variables in "playerinit.sqf" but as global variables, not set variables on the player object, which is how you're reading them in your hint.

So change playerinit.sqf to:

player setVariable ["money", 0];

player setVariable ["maxInvSpace", 20];
player setVariable ["usedInvSpace", 0];

player setVariable ["itemOrange", 1];

OK, thanks for your help.

Happy to help. :) Make sure your shop sets them the same way when you implement them.
