Showing message string and variables

[Nathan Matthews]

I thought this code would have worked but it didn't, can someone please help me with the right way to do it.

show_message("Level Status: "+room_caption+"#Coins Remaining: " +instance_number(Coin)+"#Fuel" + health);

when you string together non strings you need to do

"Level Status: " + string(variable) + "more text" + string(variable2)

What the parser thinks you're doing here is adding a number to another variable. But since the first variable there is a string, it can't add that number to the string, so you will have to cast your variable to being a string using that function.
