Whats the full code you're using?

[xxgamenoobxx]

this is what i'm using

draw_set_color (c_black)
draw_set_font(font0)

draw_text(view_xview[0]+8,view_yview[0]8,'Level:'+string(global.level))
draw_text(view_xview[0]+8,view_yview[0]32,'Exp:'+string(global.xp))
draw_text(view_xview[0]+8,view_yview[0]56,'Health:'+string(global.hp))
draw_text(view_xview[0]+8,view_yview[0]80,'Attack:'+string(global.attack))

For the view_yview parts you didn't add a plus sign.

draw_set_color (c_black)
draw_set_font(font0)

draw_text(view_xview[0]+8,view_yview[0]+8,'Level: '+string(global.level))
draw_text(view_xview[0]+8,view_yview[0]+32,'Exp: '+string(global.xp))
draw_text(view_xview[0]+8,view_yview[0]+56,'Health: '+string(global.hp))
draw_text(view_xview[0]+8,view_yview[0]+80,'Attack: '+string(global.attack))

This will work.

view_yview[0]8 vs view_yview[0]+8

It's fine, we all make silly mistakes. Good luck with your game.

ok i have one more question. how do i keep track of xp/health/mana/gold throughout different rooms? whenever i go to battle the next thing it resets my experience and level.
or if i go to the shop it also resets my gold 'n stuff.

I believe this thread is misplaced, but anyway...

Firstly, they must be global variables, which means they are not dependant on an object. In addition, you would make an initualising object (basically one that sets them to their original values) in the first map, or better: a loading screen before you start the first level. If you do this, they won't restart by themselves, unless you restart the game.

EDIT: Oops, I forgot how slow threads leave the first page around these parts...
