Limit the number of characters in a string

Recommended Posts

Hi.

Is it possible to limit the number of characters in a string variable?

For example, let's say I use "typeOf" to get the name of a vehicle. How can I display the first five characters of its name?

[typeOf player,0,4] call BIS_fnc_trimString;//0.0105 ms
//vs
typeOf player select [0,5];//0.0009 ms

Almost 100x faster. Quite a speed increase for free.

 

Cheers

This code line through the slicing method is so elegant 🙂
