Money to Acorns

Simply that. How do I change the Default Words:
Score
Health
Money

In the Game Panes to:
Conscience
Matt
Seeds


You could do this by changing the lines in the language library, for example adding:

<template name="Score">Conscience</template>

to your game file. This determines what names are used when the built-in function adds stuff (and can be used to change almost all of the game's built in text). The downside is that you need to open the game in full code view to add it, and most users are less comfortable doing that.

For something you can do within the editor, and which works on the web editor too, here's the alternative:

If you're using the built in features for money, health, etc., those attributes are actually added by the function InitStatusAttributes, which runs just before the start script. So they can't be changed in the editor; you would need to change them once they've been added.

My suggestion would be to add the code in your start script:

dictionary remove (game.statusattributes, "score")
dictionary add (game.statusattributes, "score", "Conscience: !")

dictionary remove (game.povstatusattributes, "health")
dictionary add (game.povstatusattributes, "health", "Matt: !%")

dictionary remove (game.povstatusattributes, "money")
dictionary add (game.povstatusattributes, "money", "Seeds: !")

(Or whatever else you want to change them to… the ! in the string will be replaced by the actual number)


This is wonderful! Thank you so much!
Exactly what I wanted to do.

What a Difference! :3
