hi all!

i'm using MMF's score extension at the moment for my score..

can anyone offer some advice to get my score to display multiple zeroes?

so, say a player has 2500 points, the score reads

00002500

as opposed to just

2500 ?

thanks!

im no expert and this is probably the worst way to to it but use differnt counters for 1point 10 points 100 points etc. look in some of the other tech help posts and email the people that gave the person the most help. maybe theyll know.

or you could use a string (i mean with the str$() command) and add like 6 0:s before if the score is less than 10 and 5 0:s if it's 10-100 etc.
like this...

*score is less than 10
-Set alterable string to: "000000" + str$(value(score))

and so on

use a string object to display the score on the counter, with the required number of 0's before it

d'oh! Damn you aggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggge!

No. Then when the score is 10, it would look like 0000010
and when the score is 25620, it would still look like 0000025620

Use a string and set it to

Left$( "00000", 5 - Len( Str$( score( "Player 1" ) ) ) ) + Str$( score( "Player 1" ) )

uuuh, destroyer, did you even read my post?

i said that it'd add six 0:s if it was less than 10
and five 0:s if it was 10-100
and four 0:s if it was 100-1000
an so on...

well, your version is better, but still, please pay more attention and read others posts before saying their tecniques don't work

and the score object isn't an extension, it's included with MMF

Agggggggge's method is right, but using Len() does make the whole thing a lot neater.

Yeah, do what Destroyer said, but I'd recommend using the active system box instead, because it goes above active objects and the string object goes wierd in contact with actives

how about

Mid$(Str$( score( "Player 1" )+100000000),1,

that should work too, and is shorter than destroyer's version.
