Hashtable not loading strings.

[Inachix]

Hey could anyone tell me why this isnt working.

Trigger 1

• Set Quests
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Q_QuestCount[1] = 2
    • Set Q_Blacksmith_Quests[1] = You see, I need you to gather # iron ores for me. I will reward you if you suceed.
    • Set Q_Blacksmith_Quests[2] = Well, a group of beasts have invaded the cave. I need you to get rid of them. Here are some nets to help. I will reward you if you suceed.
    • Hashtable - Save Q_Blacksmith_Quests[1] as 1 of 1 in Q_Hashtable
    • Hashtable - Save Q_Blacksmith_Quests[2] as 2 of 1 in Q_Hashtable

Trigger 2

• Give Quests
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Talk
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 2, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Target unit of ability being cast) Equal to Q_QuestGivers[(Integer A)]
          • Then - Actions
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • Q_IsInQuest[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] Equal to False
              • Then - Actions
                • Player Group - Pick every player in (All allies of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) and do (Actions)
                  • Loop - Actions
                    • Set Q_IsInQuest[(Player number of (Picked player))] = True
                • Set Q_Temp_Integer = (Random integer number between 1 and 5)
                • Set Q_Intro = Q_Intro_Lines[Q_Temp_Integer]
                • Set Q_Job = (Load 2 of 1 from Q_Hashtable)
                • Set Q_CurrentQuest = ((|cFFFFFF00 + ((Name of (Target unit of ability being cast)) + : |r)) + (Q_Intro + Q_Job))
                • For each (Integer B) from 1 to (Length of Q_CurrentQuest), do (Actions)
                  • Loop - Actions
                    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                      • If - Conditions
                        • (Substring(Q_CurrentQuest, (Integer B), (Integer B))) Equal to #
                      • Then - Actions
                        • Set Q_Temp_Integer = (Random integer number between (Hero level of (Triggering unit)) and ((Hero level of (Triggering unit)) + 5))
                        • Set Q_CurrentQuest = ((Substring(Q_CurrentQuest, 1, ((Integer B) - 1))) + ((String(Q_Temp_Integer)) + (Substring(Q_CurrentQuest, ((Integer B) + 1), (Length of Q_CurrentQuest)))))
                      • Else - Actions
                • Game - Display to (All allies of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) the text: Q_CurrentQuest
              • Else - Actions
          • Else - Actions

Everything works fine except for when it loads the string. It ends up displaying an empty string. Any help?

Does it display the character's name + Q_Intro, but not the Q_Job part? If it doesn't display anything, it's probably because your # replacement is wrong somehow.

Nope. It displays Name + Q_Intro, only the Q_Job part is missing.

You sure you're not overwriting the hashtable entry? You sure that action actually runs (there might be a thread crash, hashtables might not work at map init)? Maybe you could change the event to 0.00 seconds expired.
