string manipulation
 

#T and #e I've read how the wiki says to use them, but I can't get it right x_X

Hmm, I am not sure, but you might try

NPC Code:

---

player.colors[1]=player.chat.trim(player.chat.substring(4,-1));

---

player.chat.substring(4).trim();

You are also just doing
To check that the player actually says 'coat' first, do

Welll. Ok here it goes.

First of all the T-3a scriptline and the T-4c SL are interlocked with eachother, this means you have to devide them with a sub script line (such as a simple action command), like you split them apart. Its kinda like shoe strings, you cant walk with both foot's shoes strings tied together, so you tie them seperatly.

PHP Code:
//GS1
if (startswith(coat,#c))
{
if (playerenters) {
playlooped fire-torch2.wav; > (Sub SL)
}
setplayerprop #c(1),#T(#e(4,-1,#c));
if (created) {
y=56.6;
setcoloreffect 0,1,0,0.2;
drawaslight;
}!!(7x(4x+5=3+2x))x a+b=c/Dtall;[Alphatest]
}
//my gs2 nightmare
if(str.starts("coat"))
{
player.colors[1]=??????????
}

Second I have no idea what im talking about

Hrm, try to use code blocks for things like that. And also, in your gscript1 version of it, you should not be using code outside event blocks.

This makes me miss Excalibur.

soooo why doesn't this work?

... Because /skin is 5 characters long.
If you include the space, 6 characters long.

Haha.
.trim() truncates leading and following spaces.

ya ha ha x_X tha actual problem was earlier in the script, bu yeah, i missed that too :rolleyes: I was hoping this thread would curl up and die after that, so no one would know about it XD

Also in substring() you need to tell it how long as well.

NPC Code:

---

    player.colors[0] = player.chat.substring(4,-1).trim(); 

---

In new gscript, you do not need to specify a second parameter for substring() if you only want to specify an offset and continue to the end of the string.
... is perfectly acceptable.

oh, my bad.

well thats great :)
