Position of strings
 

Im just messing around wondering how would i get the postion of a string without tokenizeing the string... i've tried lindexof , indexof and triming the string and getting the var of each ... but none work, indexof was the closest thing to it but it gave the positon of the first letter in the entire string so say if i had
this.parts = one,two,three
indexof would give me 1,4,7
if it helps this is what i put when i trimed the string

NPC Code:

---

if(actionserverside)

 sendtonc Debug:#p(0);

//#CLIENTSIDE

if(created){

  setstring this.parts,skin,coat,sleeves,shoes,belt;

}

if(playerchats){

  tokenize #c;

  if(strcontains(#s(this.parts),#t(0))){

    triggeraction 0,0,serverside,Player/Taylor,#e(indexof(#t(0),#s(this.parts)),strlen(#t(  0)),#s(this.parts))

,;

  }

}

---

that gets me the string but i want the position of the string in the list
and this is with indexof

NPC Code:

---

if(actionserverside)

 sendtonc Debug:#p(0);

//#CLIENTSIDE

if(created){

  setstring this.parts,skin,coat,sleeves,shoes,belt;

}

if(playerchats){

  tokenize #c;

  if(strcontains(#s(this.parts),#t(0))){

    triggeraction 0,0,serverside,Player/Taylor,#v(indexof(#t(0),#s(this.parts)))

,;

  }

}

anyyone... aannyyyonneee? =(

1. Stop double posting, it is something that i see you do frequently.
2. Have you tried using 'addstring' and using '#I'?

Explain a little further what u r trying to do...

No i havent
and yes i have

#I is the way to go

I don't see why it wouldn't have worked.

i've tried that but i need the interger not the string

lindexof(string,stringlist)

tried that already see

wait how do you usae #I?

#I(string,token);
setstring this.foo,bar,asdf,fhqwhgads
#I(this.foo,2) = asdf

i got it thanks

NPC Code:

---

if(created){

  setstring this.string,Welcome,to,graal,forums;

  setstring this.search,forums;

}



if(playerenters){

  pos = lindexof(#s(this.search),this.string);

  if(pos>=0) message Word found at position: #v(pos);

  else message Word not found;

}

---

I will explain it anyway:

NPC Code:

---

if(created){

  setstring this.string,Welcome,to,graal,forums; // string list of course

  setstring this.search,forums; // the word you're searching

}

---

That string (this.string) is divided into 4 pieces, you count the pieces since the number 0. (same method of triggeraction and other commands), so:
Welcome - piece 0
to - piece 1
graal - piece 2
forums - piece 3

NPC Code:

---

if(playerenters){

  pos = lindexof(#s(this.search),this.string);

  if(pos>=0) message Word found at position: #v(lindexof(#s(this.search),this.string));

  else message Word not found;

}

---

I presume you know how lindexof work, so, create a variable (you don't really need it, but i like to) to hold the value of the lindexof(), just check if it is >= 0 and voalá, here is your example script.
Hope this help, took me - 5 minutes of sleep, good night. n_n'

Then you're doing something wrong...?

no im not i did excatly this it was the first thing i tried

NPC Code:

---

if(actionserverside)

 sendtonc Debug:#p(0);

//#CLIENTSIDE

if(created){

  setstring this.parts,skin,coat,sleeves,shoes,belt;

}

if(playerchats){

  tokenize #c;

  if(strcontains(#s(this.parts),#t(0))){

   triggeraction 0,0,serverside,Player/Taylor,#v(lindexof(#t(0),this.parts));

  }

}

---

It works perfectly, even though you should not be using strcontains...?

.. i reset the npcserver and it started working, and yes thats there for the taylor part
finshed script... no stealing please

NPC Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE

if(created)

 setstring this.parts,skin,coat,sleeves,shoes,belt;



if(playerchats){

  tokenize #c;

  if(strcontains(#s(this.parts),#t(0))){

   part=lindexof(#t(0),this.parts);

   if(part=0)

   setplayerprop #C0,#t(1);

   if(part=1)

   setplayerprop #C1,#t(1);

   if(part=2)

   setplayerprop #C2,#t(1);

   if(part=3)

   setplayerprop #C3,#t(1);

   if(part=4)

   setplayerprop #C4,#t(1);

  }

}

NPC Code:

if(created){

  setstring this.parts,skin,coat,sleeves,shoes,belt;

if(playerchats){

  tokenize #c;

  pos = lindexof(#t(0),this.parts);

  if(pos>=0){

    if(startswith(#t(0),#c)){

      setplayerprop #c,[#I(this.parts,pos) was changed to color #t(1)];

      if(pos == 0) setplayerprop #C0,#t(1);

      if(pos == 1) setplayerprop #C1,#t(1);

      if(pos == 2) setplayerprop #C2,#t(1);

      if(pos == 3) setplayerprop #C3,#t(1);

      if(pos == 4) setplayerprop #C4,#t(1);

    }

  }

Too simple, please try to understand the code and feel free to use it. :)

You've got to be kidding O_O;

Things are simple when you want to learn & work hard to progress instead of look for help every time.
