You could use winget().

winget returns values of text which you can assign as vars.

usr << "mainwindow.is-visible = [winget(usr, "mainwindow", "is-visible")]"
usr << "\nOther params:"
usr << winget(usr, "mainwindow", "pos;is-maximized")
usr << "\nButtons:"
usr << winget(usr, "button1;button2", "is-checked")

so would
mob/var/ name= winget(usr,"namelabel",?)


im not able to follow the demo code to well but would makign the var equal the winget for the label or w/e work in regards to its value?

Yes. and that ? has to be a parameter, you can see all the parameters in the interface guide.

you can't set vars like that they have to be in a proc

In response to Mastergamerx
You cannot perform operations when declaring or defining a variable. It has to be a static assignment like a number, or a text string. Something that cannot change.

In order to perform an operation like that, you must do it within the bounds of something that's happening at -runtime-.

As for this, say you have the screen up, and you set the submit button's command to this...

mob/verb/submitCharacter()
    var nameval = winget(src, "NameInput", "text")
    if(nameval)
        name = nameval


You should get the results you're looking for.

how would i do it for buttons woudl i have to make a separate verb for each button to set a stat or is there a way for me to make the button submit a value based on it name or sumthing when i click it

You should make it so each button updates it's relating value visually, it would be a waste for it to update the whole screen.

winset if it's interface and if it's object based them what you would normally do with objects.
