How to make variable equel letters?

[rj]

I tried making a status for my fighting script but i get an error.. the code looks like:

status1 := ('Attacking ');
    WriteLn('' + IntToStr(status1) + IntToStr(monsterkill) + '!');

I get the error:

[Error] C:\Users\*\Desktop\simba\Combat\Soulsplit autofighter.simba(108:29): Type mismatch at line 107

I declared status1 in main variable section

program test;
{$i srl/srl.simba}

var
  // how to declare a variable that stores a string var
  message: string;
  MonsterKill: integer;

begin
  setupsrl;
  // how to use the string var
  message := 'Attacking';
  // don't need to convert the message as it is already a string type
  writeln('' + message + IntToStr(MonsterKill) + '!');
end.

hope that helps clear it up. Note you should have declared the Monsterkill variable as an integer prior to use.

IntToStr stands for "Integer To String". It is a way to transform an integer into a string as writeln only writes down variables that can be string (let's keep it simple and ignore other variables for now). There is no need to transform status1 as it's already a string. With the line, you're trying to use it as a integer, therefore getting a type mismatch.

Thanks works great!
