InqWiper 0 Posted February 26, 2003 PlayerPos=getpos Player Man=Player Info=Pos hint format [%1%2,Man,Info] I thought this would hint the position of W1 but it seems like it doesnt. hint format ["%1%2",Man,Info] will hint "PlayerPos" but not the value of the variable PlayerPos. If I could get this to work I could get my script like 1/100 the size it has to be otherwise. Does anyone understand what Im trying to do ?

Doolittle 0 Posted February 26, 2003 What does this do? </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">hint format ["%1 %2", player, getPos player]<span id='postcolor'> That should work. It doesn't?? Is the hint command being called by a client or by the server? Doolittle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
InqWiper 0 Posted February 26, 2003 Yes that works but its not what I want. It doesnt work with what Im trying to do. MoneyW1=156 MoneyW2=123412 MoneyW3=23432489 MoneyW4=11237324 MoneyW5=132849 MoneyW6=1234 I want to be able to select a name from a list in a dialog and see the amount of money he has. 201 is a dropdown box I use this: _index = lbAdd [201, name W1] lbSetData [201, _index, "W1"] _index = lbAdd [201, name W2] lbSetData [201, _index, "W2"] _index = lbAdd [201, name W3] lbSetData [201, _index, "W3"] _index = lbAdd [201, name W4] lbSetData [201, _index, "W4"] _index = lbAdd [201, name W5] lbSetData [201, _index, "W5"] followed by _PLAYERMONEY=lbData[201, lbCurSel 201] PLAYERMONEY=format ["Money%1",_PLAYERMONEY] ctrlsettext [202,format [{Money : %1}, PLAYERMONEY]] 202 is a text in the same dialog as the dropdownbox I want it to show the money of the selected player. I want to use the format like the way that I tried cuz otherwise I have to do: ?lbData[201, lbCurSel 201]=="W1":ctrlsettext [202,format [{Money : %1}, MoneyW1]] and then I have to do a string like that for every name. It would sure be easier with only those 3 lines than 48 lines. Thats why I would like to know if there is any way to get this to work. This isnt the real problem, this is the simpler version. In the real version I have a list of like 5-10 variables that I want to check. The way it is now it will say "Money : MoneyW1" when W1 is selected and "Money : MoneyW2" when W2 is selected. The problem is I want it to say "Money : 156" and "Money : 123412" I hope Im making any sense but its 02.40 here so its possible that Im not  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kegetys 2 Posted March 1, 2003 To make the script in your initial post work, you need to make it: </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> PlayerPos = getpos Player Man = "Player" Info = "Pos" hint call format["%1%2",Man,Info] <span id='postcolor'> This will work as you want it I believe, although it will give you an error as the hint command requires a string, and the PlayerPos variable holds an array. This will work better: </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> PlayerPos = getpos Player Man = "Player" Info = "Pos" hint format["%1",call format ["%1%2",Man,Info]] <span id='postcolor'> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
