Text Variables in Message/Question Boxes

[JagoBC]

Has anyone been able to make variables that contain text strings appear in a questionbox? For instance, the following text file is created and saved as a resource file called TextFile.txt:

Would you like to sacrifice <value=GNumber> <value=GName>?

it is evoked with the following code:

QuestionBox({"TextFile.txt"; GNumber = 3, GName = "Sprites"}, "Callback");

but the QuestionBox which appears says:

Would you like to sacrifice 3 ?

(Notice the spaces after the 3.)

Does anyone know why?

Your problem is that you can't give words as values, what you have to do is create a text file that has Sprites written in it.

Btw the space after the 3 is the space between your 2 values.

I used the complex question box in my map to know what skills you'll be able to choose in the university before getting the question boxes.

Ge-esh! When I first read your response I thought I was gonna have to create a text file for every freakin' creature in the game. Fortunately I stopped and thought for a minute and realized they must already exist somewhere and I was right. I just needed to refernce the correct files in the database. Anyway, I took a look at your map and learned about the very helpful ".." way of compiling a complex file reference--so thanks dude you are a lifesaver!
