im looking to change the individual values in a message box via number boxes and i wish for the output to be in the following format... (text below). i want to be able to change the values for the second and third integers via number boxes.

changing-values-in-a-message-box

Is this going to be sent to a line object? I had trouble building a message with a comma in it. I did this instead:

There are many earlier posts on this type of question, check out: message using $1 $2 $3 etc. from earlier today. Luke posted a solution that would solve your type of issue here. When using 'pak' a 0 or a 0. allows you to specify whether the values are going to be float point or integer.

Luke's patch he submitted solves your problem I think.

it helped me to the result i was looking for. much appreciated.

if anyone is interested... see below for the result i was looking for.
