build a variable with a string and a variable

Hello (excuse my english)

For example i want to call sprites in Event Sheet : sprite1.x , sprite2.x sprite3.x sprite4.x...

numpoint is a variable

That looks like it : "sprite"&numpoint&".X"

but it does not work.

how the concatenation string and variable works ?

Thank you. <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

chrislechat if I understand correctly you want to do

"sprite"&str(numpoint)&".X"

I am assuming numpoint is a global. If it is an instance variable of sprite it would be

"sprite"&str(sprite.numpoint)&".X"

Hello,

I tried but it shows me this message (see print)

pointpath is name of sprite.

try using the turret behavior?

Hi,

You can't really do that, you'll have to put all your pointpath in an array and use "numpoint" as an index

Correct format would be: "pointpath " & numpoint & ".X". Couldn't really understand from your events what you were trying to achieve there? :)

I think he have objects called pointpath1, pointpath2, pointpath3 etc... for exemple and try to access the X value of these objects so he try to concatenate strings to form a variable. He have to use an array to do that

Can anyone give an example of how you would do that with an array? I have a similar problem, but I don't really understand what you mean
