display any variables

hi all, im making a zelda type game and i want to get UID of his house and display this as text on screen but cant figure it out, i've read the score post but not sure how i use it to my needs.

help much appreciated.

thanks

First make sure that you've got a text object, position it where you need it to be, then create an event like this:

On start of layout -> Text > set text > house.UID

Useful manual entry.

IMO you shouldn't use UIDs to check ANYTHING before your game is done. When I was trying to make doors I used them, but everytime I created a new object in my game all the UIDs changed.

I found that the best way to do doors (IMO) is using their IID and checking which layout the player is.

For instance, this way you could check that the player entered the third door on the first screen. Then you'd just have to program where he sould appear.

I think I overcomplicated it a bit in my game, but at least it's working now..
