Required Arguments
- theTextitem: A valid textitem.

Example
Increment a score display. In real scripts it's of course better to keep a global 'score' variable which can be incremented directly.
function givePoint ( thePlayer ) local scoretextitem = scoretextitems[thePlayer] -- find the score text item that belongs to this player local score = textItemGetText ( scoretextitem ) -- read the text (a score number) score = tostring(tonumber(score) + 1) -- convert to number, add 1, convert to text textItemSetText ( scoretextitem, score ) -- put the new score on the text item end
