I have an inventory item for money $. and the money figure is displayed over the inventory item.

But I want to display a figure such as $1.50. The Items figure amount won’t accept the .50 and will only display whole numbers.... 1 2 3 4 5 etc.

How could I go about displaying the .50 over the inventory item or should I only use whole numbers?

Thanks

Don't use the item.Amount, property, use item.AmountString instead. Then you can assign just about any text to the item.

Excellent - item.AmountString works well

I am tracking my $ and Cents as separate globals - so am dividing my Cents by 100 and adding that to the $.

Code: [Select]

var MoneyItem = Game.GetItem("money");
moneytotal = moneydollar + (moneycents/100);
MoneyItem.AmountString = moneytotal;
However for $1.50 my maths calculation displays $1.500000. Is there a way I can keep decimal places to just 2 integers? And single integers if needed, e.g. $1.99 to $1.10 (2 integers) $1.9 to $1.1 (1 integer).

I couldn't see how to do that with the maths code.

Since WME doesn't have any built-in functions for formatting decimal numbers, the easiest way would be probably to compose the string yourself, something like this:

Code: WME Script

1. var MoneyItem = Game.GetItem("money");
2.  
3. var centsStr = "";
4. if (moneycents < 10) centsStr = "0";
5. centsStr = centsStr + ToString(moneycents);
6.  
7. moneytotal = moneydollar + "." + centsStr;
8. MoneyItem.AmountString = moneytotal;
9.

Ah, that works well, thank you very much
