Hiyaaa all,

I made a variable to store my money.

var money;

every time my taxi gets a passenger, it adds 8 to the money.

if(taxi gets passenger)
{
money += 8;
}

I got so many until the money variable wont add 8 to itself anymore.
It jsut displays 99.

What is this?

I read in the manual tha a variable can hold up to six digits?

Thank you for your help.

you can hold a ton , the problem is prolly the digits on your pannel ,
digits x, y, format, font, factor, var; , the format gives the maximum number of digits , check what you have on there , if its something like 2 , just change it to 6 or smoething , i have mine at 10 i think , works fine.

For integers, you can safely get up to 7 significant figures (to 16,777,215 anyway). The trick is to have everything as a multiple of 1/8 then have the multiplier factor in your digits definition set to 8. That is, rather than adding 8, you'd add 1. Rather than 10, you'd add 1.25. For fractional values, it's a bit trickier but still possible. My 2D game uses this sort of thing (as a work around to the short range of the var). As to your issue, your digits element should look something like this:

digits = x, y, 7, font, 1, money;

Just set the X and Y positions, and the font.

Please show us your script of your panel.

Also check to see if you put a limit on money, such as "clamp" or "min(max"

To test this press "tab" and then put "money += 100;" or "money -= 200;"
