I turned:

draw_text(x+64,y,string(show)+ ' ' + string(alpha)+'#'+tower_text[(select+1)mod 10])

Which drew some numbers that would show whether a menu was scrolled over (0 or 1 for no or yes) and the alpha of it between 0-1.0 ... I dont need these anymore because everything is working, so I have tried changing it to draw text from another variable that I set within a script that is loaded called player_money.

Into:

draw_text(x+64,y,string(show)+ ' ' + string(alpha)+'#'+global.player_money)

It is supposed to draw the value of player_money to the right.

And got:

___________________________________________
ERROR in
action number 1
of Draw Event
for object obj_button:

Error in code at line 7:
   draw_text(x+64,y,string(show)+ ' ' + string(alpha)+'#'+global.player_money)
                                                                 ^
at position 64: Wrong type of arguments to +.

I feel stupid for having to ask what the problem is when it clearly points me to where... But I suck with draw events and cant figure it out despite experimenting with the removal or changing of different code.

draw_text(x+64,y,string(show)+ ' ' + string(alpha)+'#'+global.player_money)

Why did you put string() around show and alpha, but not global.player_money?

draw_text(x+64, y, string(show) + " " + string(alpha) + "#" + string(global.player_money));

Added the proper brackets and received the same error

Nevermind.

Thank you! +1'd.
