i got a lil problem in my cruise insim

if a user has negative money it has ( $ ) around the money but when a user has +money its fine my code for it is


openPrivButton( "Cruise_HUD_Cash",2,140,20,5,12,-1,32,strFormat( "^7Cash: {0:C}",GetCurrentPlayerVar( "Cash" ) ) );

[Heiko1]

does the method is in byte or in int ?

byte goes from 0-255
int goes from -9999...-99999...

EDIT: what an dumb answer
maybe convert it to int32

Th eproblem is that Lapper is hard coded to set the Globalization CultureInfo to en-US, so you are unable to use the currency formats if you do not want brackets around them. The best way would to be put an IF clause in to convert the negative to a positive and then print the negative sign:

$tmpCash = GetCurrentPlayerVar( "Cash" );
IF ( $tmpCash < 0 )
THEN
$tmpCash = $tmpCash - $tmpCash - $tmpCash; # This converts the number to a positive
openPrivButton( "Cruise_HUD_Cash",2,140,20,5,12,-1,32,strFormat( "^7Cash: {0:C}",$tmpCash ) );
ELSE
openPrivButton( "Cruise_HUD_Cash",2,140,20,5,12,-1,32,strFormat( "^7Cash: {0:C}",$tmpCash ) );
ENDIF


I had to do 3 minuses because for some odd reason, multiplying by -1 doesnt work.

round the values and add $, i don't know where is the problem and why the reason you use currency on format string

Even betterer:

...
openPrivButton( "Cruise_HUD_Cash",2,140,20,5,12,-1,32, "^7Cash: " . FormatCash( GetCurrentPlayerVar( "Cash" ) ) );
...

Sub FormatCash ( $tmpCash )
IF ( ToNum($tmpCash) < 0 )
THEN
$tmpCash = -$tmpCash; # This converts the number to a positive
return ( "-" . strFormat( "{0:C}",$tmpCash ));
ELSE
return ( strFormat( "{0:C}",$tmpCash ) );
ENDIF
EndSub
