Entering numbers in text messages

[Cappy]

So I was having this issue for like a week until I eventually figured it out myself because I found no help for it online, so I decided to put this here just in case if someone else has the same issue as me.

So if you try to send a number variable in a chat message like this:

send "Current lives remaining: {lives}"
# {lives} is a number type

Then it just ignores the number and sends everything else, without a single error or warning. Turns out all you have to do is convert it into an expression
like the following and it works as you would expect:

send "Current lives remaining: %{lives}%"

I hope this little bit of info helps others because it sure would have helped me.

Yea Im not trying to say your wrong, because your not. But when I google seached my issue which usually helps with that, none of those pages came up, and I even searched this site for help as well and nothing came up. I guess if I knew that fell under expressions those could have been useful but expressions are the last place I would have looked when all Im trying to do is show one number on its own.
