Hi,

I want to display numbers with decimals (such as 2.0 or 2.5) as text, but GameSalad won't let me. The number 2.0 is displayed as 2, while 2.5 is displayed as 2.50. If I use a comma instead of a period, it works, as long as I put it inside quotation marks, but I want the numbers to be displayed properly.

Please advice. Thank you!

    Thank you for replying!

    I am using the Display Text behavior on a button. This way I can use different instances of the same image, but have each instance display different numbers,

    I think you have to set up a interger attribute, and depending on what number you want displayed, you update that attribute to that number, and then in display text you choose that interger attribute. That should work

    Yes, Integer is numbers like: -2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5..... and Real are numbers like: 1.083749, 45.7800023, 2.45.... make sure you select REAL for the attribute.
