Positioning Variables in Multiple Sprites

I cannot show the same variable in different places in different sprites.  Am I missing something or is there a workaround?

Thanks for any help.

Re: Positioning Variables in Multiple Sprites

You cannot show the same variables in different places... What do you mean? Are you saying that you can't have multiple displays of the same variable? If so, then yeah, you can't have one variable displayed in the default, orange box display in several different places.

Could you please expound on what you need?

Re: Positioning Variables in Multiple Sprites

Thanks for your response.  I cannot display a single variable in different positions in different sprites.  If I want to show variable foo at the center of sprite x; I cannot show variable foo at the bottom of sprite y.  I will send some code if this is not clear.

Hmmm.... Yeah, i am having a very hard time understanding you unfortunately. I think you want to be able to display the value of a variable on a sprite. To do this, you must have some kind of engine that causes sprites to display the value of a certain variable, not the default orange box. I have made a pretty good engine for this here if that's what you need.

And, no problem, i am glad to help.  smile

Was that what you wanted? To be able to display a value of a variable on a sprite?

And again, no problem, i hope it works out for you.  smile

P.S. If you have questions about my engine, then just comment on it.  smile
