Legacy GM (SOLVED) Transform a string into money

[Daniel Polo]

I need help manipulating strings.

ex:

global.money = 10000

draw_text(x,y,global.money)

The result is obviously: 10000

What i need is: 10.000

I took a look on the docs but i did not found anything related to this, and i'm pretty sure that has to be some easy way to do this.

And of course, sorry for my bad english.

Script: convert_money_to_string(money)

var money_str, dummy_value, part, part_str;
money_str = "";
dummy_value = argument0;
while dummy_value >= 1000 {
    part = dummy_value mod 1000;
    part_str = "";
    if part < 100 {
        part_str += "0";
    }
    if part < 10 {
        part_str += "0";
    }
    part_str += string(part);
    money_str = "," + part_str + money_str;
    dummy_value = floor(dummy_value / 1000);
}
money_str = string(dummy_value) + money_str;

return money_str;

In case it's not obvious, I'm dividing the number into 3-digit sections. When needed, I'm filling in placeholder zeroes. Then, I separate each 3-digit section with commas (because I'm American, we use commas.)
You can just as easily replace the commas with dots.

Hope this helps!
