Using Variables as text in a Dialog box

[Wolfman Wisent]

I am trying to make a Dialog Box that would say User name paid X-amount. then give several choices. I can not figure out how to get the

Variables to work in text though. Can any one help Me with that. I know there is a way to do it because I have devices that do that. Their scripts

are no modify so I can not look at them to see how they did it.

Thanks for any help I get.

You can combine multiple strings of text like this:

string first = "hello ";
string second = "world!";
string combined = first + second; // "hello world!"

// or

string combined = "hello " + "world!";

Normally you can't combine other things together -- like a string and an integer (number) -- unless you change the integer's type to a string.

string message = "I was paid ";
integer amount = 100;
string converted = (string)amount;

string combined = message + converted; // "I was paid 100"

// or

string combined = "I was paid " + (string)amount + "L$"; // "I was paid 100L$"

Thank You very much. That makes it clear to Me and I now have it working.

How can I get the Dialog box to stay open until I acknowledge it.

Right now it closes when another payment is made even though I have not Responded to it.

There should be a setting for that in your viewer. For Firestorm:

Preferences > User Interface > "Script dialogs per object [unconstrained]"

Isn't that exclusively a Firestorm/other TPV option? I think the LL viewer only allows one dialog per object (I seem to remember bitter recriminations and JIRAs about this flowing freely when it became a thing). However, using Firestorm with the single dialog option set, it seems a script in a link can open an additional dialog without replacing one from another link, including the root. Maybe that'll work in the SL viewer too.

I don't know which viewers have the option, which is why I specified Firestorm.

And yes, If you put a script in every link, they can each open a dialog without replacing the others because every link is a separate object.. but do you really want to do that? (Maybe you do, that's up to you to determine.)

That fixed it for Me. Thank You Wulfie.
