[RESOLVED] Timesing and Dividing things, global variables to strings.

[boon]

Based on MOGHUNTERS MOG menu, I have a part of my end scene which involves points, by timesing and dividing the variables to calculate the score.

It errors when I try things like:
self.contents.draw_text(280, 200, 300, 64,$game_party.steps*2 ,0) 
or even
self.contents.draw_text(280, 200, 300, 64,$game_party.steps.to_i*2 ,0) 

How can I get this to work? I'm at my freinds house at the moment, for anyone who knows I can't use RPGMaker.

Also, how would I divide things?

Any help I will be very grateful for,
Boonzeet

After "$game_party.steps*2" you should add

.to_s

to transform a variable into a string.

I get another error from that, saying:

"String can't be coerced into Fixnum".

What does that mean

That worked, thanks  :lol:

Now, does anyone know how to show the value of a certain variable in the RGSS? Like in messages it's \v

That will just output the same string twice. You're multiplying by 2 AFTER converting to string.

Try:

self.contents.draw_text(280, 200, 300, 64, ($game_party.steps*2).to_s, 0)

Okay, cool that worked even better then the other one, the other one made it show 88 for 8 steps 0_0.
How do I divide things?
