setting strings

[Andy0687]

Ok i know the general idea of setting strings, but im having a problem with adding this new item to my gui ive made, it works when added all the strings by RC but now i made an item so that it will record all the stats from a buy npc.

anyways this is the part im having the trouble with

NPC Code:

---

setstring client.temp,"Fishing Rod" "Fishing" "" "" "Rod Used for Fishing" "" "" "No Resale";

 for (i=1;i<10;i++) {

  if (strequals(#s(clientr.item#v(i)), )) {

    triggeraction 0,0,serverset,item#v(i),#s(client.temp);

    break;

  }

 }

---

in the npcserver i have a place for setting the string and it works well with everything else, except this.

Even when i put #s(client.temp) in Quotes like "#s(client.temp)" it wont send, it only sends Fishing and Rod to the string.

Any help?

Use a string array/list instead of a string of tokenizable tokens? :P

Although that dosent solve my problem

I was going to, but the way the system was designed at first had supported this method, mabye later i will rescript it but i would like to get this working first.

Nobody knows what happens when a string gets send over a triggeraction Send everything as seperate parameters?

Thats why i had encased the param entirety in quotes, i had hoped it would send the entire string as one param.
Apparently i was wrong

Edit:

I had done this too with reassurance from something that Jagen had helped some kid with where sending the string encased in Quotes fixed the problem of it only sending a portion of the string

Me: excuse NPC Server... why are you such an ass about strings?
(NPC sends my text as a string to the NPC server)
NPC Server sees "NPC Server are suc an ass string"
NPC Server : IM ANGRY
*NPC Server Commits suicide*


(seperate paramaters = solution)

***** thanks, I had got that from Loriel too and have went about getting ready to do it.

Although that very amusing little story there, was perfect

Perhaps you could try using addstring to wrap the string in some triggerable way :/

[R0bin]

Yeah i suggested that to him already
