placing a variable inside a string?

Questions & Answers
1

I’ve done some searching and can’t seem to find any examples of this.

I have a variable called ‘waveLevel’.

I want to change my GUI to read “Wave: 7/25” where 7 would be the variable ‘wavelevel’.

Currently my code looks like this;

function UpdateHUD ()
{
	waveText.text = "Wave: " +waveLevel;							//updates the current waveLevel to the wave GUI
	resourceText.text = "" +resourceCount;							//updates the current healthLevel to the health GUI
	petfoodResourceText.text = "" +petfoodCount;
}

But obviously that would just displaying “Wave: 7” and not the desired “Wave: 7/25”. This is probably a simple question with a very simple answer. Sorry in advance for not being able to find this on my own.

I know this question is super old, but it’s the first result when researching this problem so I thought I would add this for anyone coming across this in the future.

You can actually include variables in your string really easily by adding a ‘$’ before your string, and using ‘{ }’ around your variable, like this:

MyString = $"Here is some text, and this is a variable {VariableName}, without using any + breaks!";

So in the context of this question, you would do something like:

waveText.text = $"Wave: {waveLevel}/25";

Cheers!

waveText.text = "Wave: " +waveLevel + “/25”;

or if you have the number the 25 in a var, maybe totalWaves, then:

waveText.text = "Wave: " +waveLevel + "/" + totalWaves;
