help with strings

[scottman5587]

what does the parameter part of the string scrip do???

[Dustey]

here is how a string works. are u sure u are working with strings not ganis?

setstring stringname,stringvalue;

stringvalue can be a numbers or letters. Its used to save information so that it can be accesed by other npcs and itself.
If im wrong in any of that let me know

A string is a stored variable that can be "called upon" at a latter time to be used for various things. Like in Graal, your account name is a string. To do something with it you would use something like:

code:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if (playerenters){
message Hello #a;
}--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

or
code:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
if (playerenters&&strequals(#a,joseyisleet)){
message Hey Josey!;
playerrupees+=500;
}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's all fairly simply to learn and use.

take a look at that that was in another thread i found

Also, to acces a string you've set yourself use something like:

NPC Code:

---

if (playerenters){

  setstring client.test,hi;

  timeout=1;

}

if (timeout){

  setplayerprop #c,#s(client.test);

}

---

You can also use numbers with something like:

NPC Code:

---

if (playerenters){

  setstring client.test,11;

  timeout=1;

}

if (timeout){

  setplayerprop #c,strtofloat(#s(client.test));

}

And remember, when calling a number from a string use strtofloat otherwise just use #s(stringname);

right...?

well, if its a string array, you would use #I(stringname,index)
