it seems that when u concentrate a string with a % (precentage mark) it will return a very wierd value:

it says

Quote:

Poison Resistance +30
57 2.591602E-308xtra Gold From

but shud say

Quote:

Poison Resistance +30%
57% Extra Gold from monsters

any idea how can i fix it?

here is the function that i use

local string amount2 = I2S(amount)
if bonustype == 2 then
return "Life +"+amount2
...

elseif bonustype == 40 then
return amount2+"% Extra Gold from monsters"

endif
endfunction

this isnt caused by the multiboard, or any other functions.

doesnt work,

Quote:

" "+amount2+"% "+" "+"Extra Gold from monsters"

doesnt work either, i was thinking of maybe there is a way to use a % without acctualy using it, like Chr(x) or something like that.

EdwardSwolenToe	Try putting a 'colour' infront of the %, maybe one that cant really be noticeable. like \|nccff % \|r something like that?

shadow1500	nothing seems to work, i guess that the % symbol is used to describe a certain value in the game and will always get replaced...

Vexorian	Don't use % on the Custom script section, it is safe to use it on a custom trigger but using it on the custom script secton makes world editor replace it with funny, random values. I think I forgot to say a word about this bug?

PitzerMike	You have to escape it with a second % character. So having "5%%" in your code will give you 5% in game.

obvious c rule I forgot.

It is lame that this doesn't happen with custom text triggers. They just forgot to check for percentages on custom script section? that's funny
