I want to display the number of hit points left, so that it goes something like this
msg ("Your last blow knocks your oponent unconcious. Sweating heavily, you congratulate yourself on your win. You took a bit of a beating during the fight, meaning you only have a few Hit Points left, more specifically:")
msg (player.hp)
But this basically means that the number of HP appears on a different line. Is there any way to combine this, or do this in a better way?
Thanks in advance!

Did you try this?
msg ("Your last blow knocks your oponent unconcious. Sweating heavily, you congratulate yourself on your win. You took a bit of a beating during the fight, meaning you only have a few Hit Points left, more specifically:" + player.hp)

print a message -> [MESSAGE]: text
msg ("Hi, my name is HK.")
outputs: Hi, my name is HK.
---------------
print a message -> [EXPRESSIONS]: text + variables
player.alias = "HK"
msg ("Hi, my name is " + player.alias + ".")
outputs: Hi, my name is HK.
---------------
the secret to writing EXPRESSIONS (text+variables) is to break them into 2 chunks, let's do a more complex 'msg' though:
"text (including a space)" + Object_name.Attribute_name (or Variable_name) +
OR
"text (including a space, as a space is a textual character~symbol)" + Object_name.Attribute_name (or Variable_name)
---------
the chunks (connected via adding them together, yes you're 'adding, literally~physically putting, strings' together: "4"+"5"="45" or "a"+"b"="ab" or "a"+"b"+"c"="abc", vs 4+5=9, hehe):
player.alias + " is a " ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ conceptually: "(space) is (space) a (space)" + player.gender_string + " " ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ conceptually: "(space)" + player.race_string + " " ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ conceptually: "(space)" + player.class_string + "." ~~~~~~~~~~~~ conceptually (as it's hard to see it, well for my bad eyes anyways, lol): "(period~dot)"
~OR~
player.alias + " is a " + player.gender_string + " " + player.race_string + " " + player.class_string + "."

You can also just do:
Your last blow knocks your oponent unconcious. Sweating heavily, you congratulate yourself on your win. You took a bit of a beating during the fight, meaning you only have a few Hit Points left, more specifically: {player.hp}.
in your text field. Or in your msg. (Text processor magic.)
