Alright so I managed to get a message that works correctly and will display 6 variables to the screen. Now I think I am missing one detail with working with global variables.

This will cause an error "type mismatch while assigning to a int (cast missing or types unrelated)"

ATHShungerValueLocal = ATHShungerValue.GetValue()ATHShungerRateLocal = ATHShungerRate.GetValue()ATHSsleepValueLocal = ATHSsleepValue.GetValue()ATHSsleepRateLocal = ATHSsleepRate.GetValue()ATHSthirstValueLocal = ATHSthirstValuel.GetValue()ATHSthirstRateLocal = ATHSthirstRate.GetValue()UpdateMessage.Show( ATHSthirstValueLocal, ATHSthirstRateLocal, ATHShungerRateLocal, ATHShungerValueLocal, ATHSsleepValueLocal, ATHSsleepRateLocal )

While this seems to work perfectly fine...

ATHShungerValueLocal = 10ATHShungerRateLocal = 20ATHSsleepValueLocal = 30ATHSsleepRateLocal = 40ATHSthirstValueLocal = 50ATHSthirstRateLocal = 60UpdateMessage.Show( ATHSthirstValueLocal, ATHSthirstRateLocal, ATHShungerRateLocal, ATHShungerValueLocal, ATHSsleepValueLocal, ATHSsleepRateLocal )

What step am I missing with global variables?....

Have you tried casting the results of the functions with "as", e.g.:

ATHShungerValueLocal = ATHShungerValue.GetValue() as int

You are my hero, it seems to be working and I am once again making progress
