It's cumbersome to manually type out set text = "Variable 1: = "&object.instanceVariableA&newline&"Variable 2: "&object.instanceVariableB each time I want to do so (especially if I add new instance variables or change their names). Is there an easier way to do this?

I usually use the debugger to do that but I have used the function object before to display a bunch of values without having to type out a long equation.
on function "debug" repeat function.paramCount times

text: append text function.param(loopindex)&newline[/code:1brc17pe]

Then it's simple to just use a function call action and add a parameter per value.

I know how to use the debugger but I'm making a strategy game and I need to display the information to the player in game.

In that case you could either use the function object idea or maybe just break the equation up and use multiple append text actions.
