Drawing variables on the screen

[sudi]

Ok actually pretty simple but i dont get it.....
i want to write with the font function a variable on the screen....but it doesnt work at all cause the formats dont fit...how can i do this?

Code: Select all

comicfont->draw(player->m_health, rect<s32>(5,675,128,768),SColor(0,0,0,0));

smgr.addStaticTextNode() ?

That would work, you can look in the Shaders tutorial for more info, but may not be quite what ur after!

Ok...but how should that work?
i tried this already...

Code: Select all

hudmgr->addTextSceneNode(font2,leben,SColor(0,0,0,0),0);

and that doesnt work either.

I think if you change

"comicfont->draw(player->m_health, rect<s32>(5,675,128,768),SColor(0,0,0,0));"

to

"comicfont->draw(player->m_health.c_str(), rect<s32>(5,675,128,768),SColor(0,0,0,0));"

it should work.

Hmmm it doesn't work the compiler tells me that c_str isn't declared....
edit:
i changed a little bit now it works....it has to be

Code: Select all

comicfont->draw(stringw(player->m_health).c_str(), rect<s32>(5,675,128,768),SColor(0,0,0,0));
