Random Number post to 3-d Text

I am making a dice game, and I want to randomize two different numbers. I got that part, but I can't figure out how to then make the random number = to the 3-d text so that it will post onto the square dice I made.

Does anyone know how to do this? Or is there another way besides the 3-d text to put a label out on the screen?

You could always use the "print" method to print text, but it isn't in the world (it's in a boring little text box that appears below the play screen when text is printed).

Also, you can do:

<insert text object name here> set text to (<insert variable name here> as a string)>

Unfortunately, the number retains the decimal point after conversion to string. I have no idea how to make it not include the decimal.

Hope that helped! If it didn't, please say so.

In case you didn't understand, you set the text of the 3-D Text in the method you want, and then where you are supposed to input the text, you put in a block from the Properties tab of world called "[what] as a string". You then put in the variable you want for the [what].

There is a way to get rid of the decimal that comes up, so if u want to know just ask and I will tell you, but i see no point in explaining the creation of the method if you don't really care.

Do you have a better way than using random number (java: randomNextDouble)?

Nope, random number is the way that I was talking about. I used it in the maze game for another person, you can look for that if you want.

My problem is that it seems to be a glitch, as it doesn't work for me and my copy of Alice is pretty stable.

Did you see how I did it using the maze? Did it not work for you there?

Not even sorta. I knew it wouldn't, though.

It's stuff like that that makes me wish I was better at editing complex raw code, so I could just go in, make a few tweaks, and have it change from doubles to integers (it's not a difficult thing, really).

So random numbers don't work at all for you? Maybe its just your version then.

No, random numbers work, but the decimal cutting method you used doesn't.

If random numbers didn't work for me, I wouldn't have been able to make RP.
