So im wondering is there a way to add html or variables to the text part of the label interface code like

winset(usr,"stats",'text="Health:[usr.health]"')

or

winset(usr,"stats",'text="Health:100
this is your health"')

just wondering cause i wanted to try to save myself some time with a large amount of descriptions i'll have for sum labels

Labels don't support HTML, but you could always use a browser control or output control, both of which support HTML (and the faster output() method of displaying text).

well what about the variable thing

What about it? You can output things just like you would anywhere else.

src << output("Hello [src.name], your health is [src.health].","mywindow.myoutput")

You'd have to write a proc to update the labels as the variables change, or a loop that keeps it updated (not recommended).

so how do people make those fancy interface character menus with the stats?

Usually using the map control or a browser control, I'd imagine. The skin reference has all you'd ever need to know about it.
