Show Number Function

[LiquidIce00]

I was bored .. again
and I decided to make a little function to help some people.
I might enhance it if people like it..
it shows any number anywhere on the screen..
the only problem is that the number cant be bigger then 9999999,
else the variable becomes a long and messes up x.x
bare with me since I made this in only like 15 minutes, so it might have some bugs..
oh and I think some1 had one before this .. but I tried and it didnt work well so here is one that works well.

here is the function:

NPC Code:

---

function LiquidNum() {

//hide if told

  if (this.hideprevious=1) {

    while (this.previousindex>this.startindex) {

    hideimg this.previousindex;

    this.previousindex-=1;

    }

  }

//end hide



//do showimg of the numbers

this.count=0;

  while (this.count<strlen(#v(this.number))) {

  showimg this.startindex,state.png,this.x,this.y;

  //get current number

  this.currentnum=strtofloat(#e(this.count,1,#v(this  .number)));

  //end get current number

  changeimgvis this.startindex,4;

  changeimgpart this.startindex,this.currentnum*14,81,14,16;

  //add to variables

  this.startindex+=1;

  this.x+=this.space;

  this.count+=1;

  }

//end showimg



//set highest index if needed

this.previousindex=this.startindex;

//end set highest index

}

---

now ill explain how to use it.
anywhere in your code you can call it , in a timeout, if player enters. whatever.
Ill explain a if playerenters one ..

NPC Code:

---

if (playerenters) {

//index in which we should start

this.startindex=200;

//hide previous shown imgs? 1=yes 0=no

//this is usefull if your running it in a timeout and you need it to 

//clear previous showimg's so they dont show unwanteds

this.hideprevious=1;

//begin x position

this.x=250;

//y position

this.y=100;

//number to display

this.number=123456;

//space in between numbers

this.space=10;

//run function

LiquidNum();

}

---

Enjoy
and please tell me if you find any bugs.

oh and i might also include the chars : / so if you need to do dates or something. btw this is extracted out of state.png

fun. You could also do:

NPC Code:

---

function shownumber() {

  this.x = 100;

  this.y = 250;

  this.number = 12345;

  showimg 600,@#v(this.number),this.x,this.y;

  changeimgvis 600,5;

}

yes but its still different
your way uses normal font files my way uses the sprite.png which is prettier.
but still props to u

good idea tho I could make it so u can choose which way and also you can change the font and size and all that stuff

Actually, I think if you just use arial bold it looks the same. All you need to remember is that the font on sprites.png is made of white arial bold, with blue arial bold underneath, with an offset of (1,1) on the blue text. You could probably use layers 5 and 6 to separate the two...

erm 2 questions..
any1 want me to update this and make more stuff avaible ?
and also what happens if your using timevar and it becomes a really high number. does that mean you cant make date/time nemore since it becomes a long or what ??
