Variable Text?

[Gnome]

Er... how do I make a variable = text?

[Silverwind]

Are you having a laugh?

[Gnome]

Unfortunately no, I can't believe I forgot this.

[Silverwind]

Maybe I'm just in denial, or maybe I'm tired from the 14 our shift I've just finished, but whatever the case, I'm not laughing either. Gadzooks man, what have you been up to that's wiped clean your memory?

Code: [Select]

integer = x
string$ = "x"

[Gnome]

so If I wanted to have a name in a text then it would be
name$ = "Geoff Gnomely"
PRINT = Oh hello $name$

?

[Gnome]

Nevermind, it was my code.

[Silverwind]

L...O...L... How Gnome? How? You were the capable and aspiring youth; you were said to bring balance to GM, not destroy it!

In GM syntax, incasing a variable with dallar marks references its value, like so:

Code: [Select]

playerName$ = "Gnome the Absent Minded"

playerGold = 50

PRINT $playerName$$ has $playerGold$ gold!
