Hi,

I am trying to covert a value type (string) to an integer using monkey.boxes ToInt(). So far I'm lost on how to do this. I understand the concept I just don't know how to implement it.

So for example this is how I thought it might work but does not.

Local mystring:StringObject
Print mystring.ToInt()

Lost I am. :)

Any reason you need to box these values to cast them? Try casting a string directly:

Local myString:String = "16"
DrawCircle( x,y, Int(myString))  'Last value explicitly casts myString to Int.  If it fails, the cast returns 0.  This will fail on decimal values!

^There is none. :) I did not know that Monkey did that. Thanks I think that will do fine.

I'd recommend avoiding monkey.boxes - it's a bit of a relic from an earlier version of monkey.
