Text before game.score in display text [Solved]

evert

Hi maybe another silly question,
but how do i set a text before my game.score attribute in the display text?
If i do this: my score game.score it will say invalid expression, if i only do game.score it gives me my games score.

Thanks

Either type it this way in the expression editor which will put more space

or create a text attribute with space only and then do this

Dont know about other methods

You need to include your quotes and concatenate it with the attribute. It should look like this in the expression editor:

"My"..self.sp.."score"..sp..game.score

self.sp is a self text attribute that includes a space.

Can't you simply stick a space (option+space) onto the end of the text ?

Like this "My Score "..game.score

Like this "My "..attribute ?

That's another way to do it, I had just forgotten if it was cmd+space or alt+space. :P

It doesnt work here , it switches the input language on my mac

Are you using alt+space ?

If you are using alt+space and it still changes the input language then simply change your change-input-language shortcut to something else, or even switch it off entirely (who needs to change their input language on a regular basis anyhow !?)

@Socks, people who correspond in multiple languages do this many many times a day.

Icebox

@Socks Oh now it works thanks !
Edit: I had both cmd + space and alt+ space to switch language

(who needs to change their input language on a regular basis anyhow !?)

I barely use english compared to the other language so thats why i need it

Everyone should speak in English and stop all this nonsense immediately.

You should stick to English, all other languages are weird, I can hardly understand most of them.

coming form a country(switzerland) were I always struggled to understand the purpose of our isolated little language. I totaly agree. English is the only viable language option.
But it will be hard to convert russia and asia

@BigDave, just be glad you're not a Waorani, whose language has no known links to any other language on earth.

Switzerland is obvioulsy a language mess, how many languages do you have over there, something like four or five ? You all need to stop misbehaving and use English like all the normal countries.

They just need to ask themselves would they prefer to use English or a foreign language, the answer is obvioulsy English,

@Socks Your english and (few other members) is hard to pick up for me especially when you explain things or joke around, used to take me ages to understand what your saying

English is a terrible language especially for spelling. They should revamp it, fix it. English 2.0.

That's why you need to abandon your foreign language and do the sensible thing.

That's all the fault of the Americans, here in the UK we spell everything correctly.

@Socks

English is just a niche modern dialect, more nuisance than a fad, and should be weeded out. Just switch to a decent solid language and avoid further embarrassment.
