My code is designed to rename a jpeg and capitalize the attributes in order to trick my Nintendo 3DS into thinking it took the image as a photo this code down here is the converter ran on a pc to convert an image to the right type and name.
Prefix = "HNI_";
Midfex = floor(random(9999));
Suffex = ".JPG";
gt_file=get_open_filename("jpeg image|*.jpg", "");
file_rename(gt_file, Prefix + Midfex + Suffex);
Where "Midfex" is, a random number with four digits is created. and "Prefix" and "Suffex" are, they just what they are called and supposed to do.
When running the game, I get this error:
FATAL ERROR in
action number 1
of Mouse Event for Left Pressed
for object object0:
DoAdd :: Execution Error
at gml_Object_object0_LeftButtonPressed_1 (line 10) - file_rename(gt_file,Prefix + Midfex + Suffex)
There are probably too many variables in the "Rename_File" function. I have tried this on GameMaker 8.0 and it still does not work. How can I fix this?
I am using the standard version of GameMaker Studio, not the free version. I have attached a screenshot of my code in Gm:s Drive.Google.com/file/0b....
When you use + you are trying to add the number Midfex to Prefix and Suffix. Changing it to Prefix + string(Midfex) + Suffex should solve your issue as it is now in a string format.
Also for your convenience you can use irandom(9999) instead of floor(random(9999)) to achieve the same result for Midfex.
