Scripting questions

For what its worth, params start at 0

Your npc script:
params[0] = buymenu1
params[1] = 1000
params[2] = nameyouhad?

Also, you can do:
onActionClientside (cmd, price, itemname)
and reference the parameters passed from serverside that way.

Ex: echo(price);

Ahh, thanks for the reply anyways .

Would anyone be able to explain tokenizing to me/link me to anything on it please?

obj.tokenize([delimiters]) - splits the string into an array wherever the delimiters occur

Example:
Player chats: "This is an example"

PHP Code:

player.chat.tokenize(" "); //uses spaces as separator 


Can access tokens like this:
tokenscount (will yield 4)
tokens[0] will reference the first token (the word "this").
Similarly,
tokens[2] will reference the word "an".

ps: if its only for spaces, you could also just do player.chat.tokenize()

Thanks , would you use tokenizeing as well when doing such scripts as

PHP Code:

if (player.chat.starts("text")){ 
a = player.chat.substring;
} 


?
Also, for the delimiters, you would basically be able to put for example a word such as "idigzy" and wherever that word occurs it splits it :o?

Your example isn't a proper use of substring ( string.substring(index[,length]) ) , but, essentially, yes, you could tokenize the player's chat if a condition is met. I'll let someone else fill you in on substring as I know how it works (sometimes), but am not familiar enough to verse you on its uses...sorry...


random tailor example for tokenize [better ways to do this...example for simplicity sake..]:

PHP Code:

if (player.chat.starts("/set ")){ //player says "/set shoes"
  player.chat.tokenize(); //as previously mentioned, SPACES become separators
  if (tokens[1] == "shoes"){
    player.colors[2] = tokens[2];
    //OR...
    //player.colors[2] = player.chat.substring(10,-1); // not 100% sure on this??
  }
} 


Also, for the delimiters, you would basically be able to put for example a word such as "idigzy" and wherever that word occurs it splits it :o?

yeah, you get the concept....
some common delimiters: are , (commas), spaces . (periods) , and so on...

there is a tokenize2 but I didn't want to include it.
You can scripthelp it.

Is there anything you are trying to do in specific, there might be a better approach?
