How do I access a specific number in a variable?

Hi.

I have a small problem. If I have a variable called "score" and the value is f.e "1235"

How do I collect what value the second number is? In this case 2

I know about the "mid" expression in text but can't get it to work on a number variable.

Sounds like something an array would be better at. Sorry I don't know the answer.

I use arrays in my game but this should be pretty simple. You can do it in a text by using mid(text,2,1) to collect the second letter so I hoped there was a simple way to do it in a number variable as well

you should try : mid(str(score),2,1)

MadSpy Can always count on you

This seems to work so progress. This is the scenario. I have a sprite that I want to set the frame to the same number as the second number in a variable. How do I do that. I can get a string but it needs to be set back to a number to be used in the set animation frame action

set animation frame= int(mid(str("score"),2,1)

you can add a check that your score has 2 digits. (if len(str(Score))>=2)

MadSpy Thank you but it won't let me use that expression when I want to set the frame. It tells me it has to be a number :/

There's a typo in MadSpy's answer. It's missing a closing parenthesis :

set animation frame= int(mid(str(score),2,1))

Got it working. It was zero based So this did the trick int(mid(str(totaldeaths),1,1))

Thank you MadSpy !

Magistross Thank you. Just realized that

It's a long week and I 'm a little tired but the key is that you understand the trick ^^ Anonnymitet

Thx Magistross
