However, after putting in something like "Character takes " + value("Damage dealt")+ "damage.", it just comes up with a message saying 'mixed strings and numbers'. Is there any way to fix this prob? Cheers. n/a

Str$() converts a value to a string, and you can use val() to convert a string to a number, as long as the string contains numbers; otherwise it is counted as 0. These conversions and many others can be found under the special expressions, and some on the mmf expression editor. -Andy Creator of Faerie Solitaire: http://www.create-games.com/download.asp?id=7792 Also creator of ZDay20 and Dungeon Dash. http://www.Jigxor.com http://twitter.com/JigxorAndy
