Converting strings to integers

I am working on an RPG and I want the user to type numbers into text boxes and then I want to add those numbers. Is there a way to do this?

Things I have tried:

1.using float()

2.using int()

3.using both int(float())

4.just straight adding the values

5.Screaming at my computer

All of them but the last one created an error basically telling me that strings aren't integers. If you have any ideas I would be happy to hear them .

I guess you're setting a third text object to the result? Convert the texboxes to numbers, add them together, and set the result of be a str again.

set textbox3 text to str(int(textbox1.text)+int(textbox2.text))

R0J0hound Thanks that makes sense, it wasn't an error with addition it was saying the text box can't accept integers. I never would have guessed that, Thanks so much!
