I think there have been some problems with using array indexes in digits definitions (correct me if I'm wrong) so it might be wiser to do the following:

Code:

---

 
var digits_age;
var digits_height;
var digits_weight;

// etc.....

Panel briefing_pan
{
bmap = "PatientBriefingPanel.bmp";

button(680, 600, "NextOn.bmp", "NextOff.bmp", "NextOn.bmp", next2, NULL, NULL);
layer = 5;
red = 0;
green = 0;
blue = 0;

digits(433, 250, 6, arial_font, 1, digits_age);
digits(108, 285, 6, arial_font, 1, digits_height);
digits(450, 285, 6, arial_font, 1, digits_weight);

............... etc

 

---

And then have a starter function that constantly updates these values:

Code:

---

starter update_digits()
{
   while(1)
   {
      digits_age = age[currentPatient];
      digits_height = height[currentPatient];
      digits_weight = weight[currentPatient];

  

---

See if that works any better.
