Is there a way to "split" a text attribute

theCodeMonsters

Now this is a bit hard to explain, but ill do my best.

So say I have an text attribute that is "int700". Is there a way to take just the 700. now here's the tricky part, the 700 is a flexible number. Meaning it could be 900 or 1. Is there a way to do this? to target a specific character set in the Expression editor and collect its data.

not sure if this is what you mean, but you could do it by displaying as so with display text:

"int"..attribute

set the attribute to 700 or whatever and change it to whatever you want and that will display int followed by whatever value the attribute is

@JohnPapiomitis Thanks but that's not what I mean. I mean I have a text attribute with the value "age29". Is there a way for me to use gamesalad behaviors to grab that number 29? But again. the number 29 could be 80 or even 17.

Sorry, can't mix/manipulate text attributes and integer attributes at the same time. As John recommends, if you need to display them together in Display Text, put:

scene.Textatt..scene.Ageatt
