Example
digits 164,68,"MISSION SUCCESSFULL",menu_font,0,0;
how could i change the "MISSION SUCCESSFULL" part at runtime?

I don't think you can change anything inside of a digits element.
However you could use a text object and change the string of it at runtime.

yeah i was trying to avoid that route so i am hoping there is a solution

you could re-create the panel?

Code:

---

panel* my_panel;
string comp_panel_str;

function display_dynamic_panel (str) {
  str_cpy (comp_panel_str, "digits 164,68,\"");
  str_cat (comp_panel_str, str);
  str_cat (comp_panel_str, "\",menu_font,0,0;");

  return (pan_create (comp_panel_str)); //returns the new created panel pointer
}

...

if (my_panel) {pan_remove (my_panel);} //if panel already exists, remove first
my_panel = display_dynamic_panel ("lala I am good"); //make new panel and store
my_panel.visible = on; //show panel

---

well, theoretically this should work... it should display the name on screen when calling the function with the right arguments

Hi Vince, dont know if is this what you want but i ran just a test:

string test = "MISSION SUCCESSFULL";

digits(17,40,test,*,1,0);

function change_string()
{
str_cpy(test,"MISSION FAILED");
}

on_1 = change_string;

And it changes in run-time in the panel, now is MISSION FAILED.

sweet thanks that helps alot

Oh, so that works too

Great, didn't know that you could use global strings inside of the digit element
Thanks demiGod

me too
