apostrophes and and a format

[lucilk 10]

ok i got another one, i want to add a action to the player inside a trigger

so:

//this "i" i will need it later
i=1;

//now the trigger
_brig = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector", getpos _civvehicle]; 
_btrig setTriggerArea [100, 100, 0, false];
_btrig setTriggerActivation ["WEST", "present", false];

//now the part with the problem

[b][php]_btrig setTriggerStatements ["this", "pac1 = player addAction [""Stop Vehicle """"format [""""%1"""",i]"""" for inspection"", ""civc\stop.sqf"",[], 0, true, true, """", """"]; i=i+1", ""];[/php]

[/b]

the ideea was that Stop Vehicle for inspection should be:

Stop Vehicle [b][color=Red]1[/color][/b] for inspection

Stop vehicle [b][color=red]2[/color][/b] for inspection

Stop Vehicle [b][color=red]3[/color][/b] for inspection

.....etc

any ideeas

Thanks

And this 1,2,3... is absolutely necessary?

[lucilk 10]

its not that is necessary, is that i know it can be done and i might need it later, this is how i learned to do everything, just trying to do stuff and eventualy remember something form another script and use it for my needs, i was just curios how its made, beacuse i learn a script command every day and now i bumped in to "format" command and i dont know how to use it

Try:

_str = format["Stop Vehicle %1 for inspection", i];
_btrig setTriggerStatements ["this", "pac1 = player addAction [_str, ""civc\stop.sqf"",[], 0, true, true, """", """"]; i=i+1", ""];  

Easier to manage it via another variable than trying to put in 8 sets of quotes.

Use single quote marks inside of the double quotes. It's kinda ridiculous having four double quotation marks in a row, it will be impossible to debug a beast such as that.

Yeah, for example in the post from beita above it would be:

"pac1 = player addAction [_str, 'civc\stop.sqf',[], 0, true, true, '', '']; i=i+1"

'' inside " is two '
