As the title says, how can I have text and a variable show on the same line when using show_message or draw_text? In C and C++, you simply use %d,%s,%c,etc with the appropriate variable type. In Java, you can do this

System.out.println("The value is " + myNumber + "!");

However, if I use "" + variable in GML, it gives me an error. I'm doing this for user-named INI files for saving and it would be nice to know this as well for the future.

What's your error?

You should be able to go string1+string2, or "string 1"+string2, or "string 1"+"string 2" or even "string 1" + string(number) + string 2!

You need to use string(global_control.bomb_gravity[bomb_number])
