You forgot to close the body of ServerExecute (a missing } character)

You also have an extra } on line 50

You're also not returning anything in ServerExecute, make sure you add "return null;" at the end.

You probably also want to do: SetText("" + var.Value), since integers don't implicitly convert to strings.

Hello, thankyou for your help.

The editor does not report any compiling errors, however whenever I try to palce the script, I crash

I also apologise for my poor understanding.

Okay so in your constructor you have: ChangeScore(GUIBuilder@ b)

"b" here will always be null, because the engine does not construct a GUIBuilder for you. You will have to obtain the gamemode's GUIBuilder@ at runtime, eg. get it from a casted g_gameMode in the Initialize function of the script and then call LoadWidget.

I believe the editor crashes because of this because an exception in the constructor means the object will always be null, and the editor doesn't like that. I'll see if I can add an error for this instead of a crash.

Also, in your logfile, it shows this after the crash:

I assume the casted gamemode at runtime is auto gamemode = cast<Survival>(g_gameMode);

So I need to initialize this?

Ah actually you don't need to cast it. Also, note that this code is inside of the Initialize() function, not the worldscript constructor.

I am able to place it!! My script doesn't work however, but we got somewhere! Thanks a lot mate.

I cannot see why the script would not want to work however.

I tried using the SetText to say something, but that did not appear either, so It must be something within that

Have you read the Creating an Interface[ssbd.a000ff.com] article? You need to actually draw the interface as well, which means you'll also need to get a reference to your ChangeScore@ script (which is your widget hoster in your code!) and draw that.

Thinking about your code again, if you intend to have multiple ChangeScore worldscripts in your level, the behavior of your interface might not be what you expect, depending on how you handle the drawing of the widgets. (Since that would mean you have multiple widget hosters at the same time)

I was thinking about it, because I am using the survival GUI, is using the code on the wiki neccessary? As it seems you draw the GUI files as a whole, and I am using the survival GUI file, which should already be drawn somewhere else?

As well as that, when you want to draw the interface, where does the code actually go?a When you make an instance of the widget hoster and such, is this inside a new script, or one that already exsists (which I cannot locate)

So in the HUDSurvival, I added the scoobyWidget, and set the text of the scooby widget to:
m_scoobyWidget.SetText("♥♥♥♥);

This was under the update function.
Which worked correcty, as it was shown. So why does this not work on my ChangeScore script?

The examples on the wiki are drawing the widgets in a scripted gamemode. If you have a custom scripted gamemode, you can do it from there.

However, since you say you are already using HUDSurvival (which I assume you're doing in a custom scripted gamemode), you need to refer to that interface rather than make a completely new one with your worldscript.

For example, in the case that you are inheriting from (or directly using) the Survival gamemode, you could do something like this in a worldscript:
(Note I did not test the above code snippet, but it should be fine)

Sorry, I meant as the GUI file I am using, is survival.gui, which is where the things i want to change are held.

Right, also in that case my comment is still valid. What your ChangeScore script is doing, is setting a score on its own IWidgetHoster instead of the widget hoster that is actually being used to draw the survival HUD.
