th3gingergamer 2 Posted October 19, 2017 I have been trying to remove the group information from the caller part of '_this ' e.g. "B Alpha 1-1:1". I am trying to use splitString to split the string when it gets to a bracket as the whole string returned is "B Alpha 1-1:1 (Username)" The code I have so far is _caller = (_this select 1); _caller splitString "("; Hint format["%1 is an absolute idiot!",_caller select 1]; The error I get is about splitString expecting a string but receiving an object. I tried looking up a way to change an object to a string but had no luck. I'm extremely new to SQF (I started learning today) and any help with this would be appreciated.

pierremgi 4738 Posted October 19, 2017 _caller = str (_this select 1); I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pierremgi 4738 Posted October 19, 2017 could you send the result of _caller? Perhaps , there is no "(", so not sure _caller can be split. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
th3gingergamer 2 Posted October 19, 2017 The error I'm getting is that _caller is an object and not a string and splitString can only split a string. The result of _caller though is "B Alpha 1-1:1 (My Name)". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Larrow 2797 Posted October 19, 2017 And you just want the name in the brackets? _caller = name (_this select 0); 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
th3gingergamer 2 Posted October 19, 2017 Yup taking out the splitString and putting in that fixed it. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
