There is some input error, post the code, how you are trying to use it.

 

[deathismyfriend]

heres the code sry couldve sworn i pasted the code lol it pastes it every 5 seconds
it was just to see how it worked

function Trig_Untitled_Trigger_002_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local integer i = 0 
    set tempinteger = tempinteger + 1
    if tempinteger == 1 then
        set i = S2I("A1")
        call BJDebugMsg(I2S(i))
        set i = S2I("A3")
        call BJDebugMsg(I2S(i))
        set i = S2I("A5")
        call BJDebugMsg(I2S(i))
        set i = S2I("A7")
        call BJDebugMsg(I2S(i))
    endif
endfunction

What number do you expect A to be? Try making the string consist of numbers.

i was just hoping it would convert the letters into an integer is there any way to convert it to integer ?

 

[ap0calypse]

The function S2I(string) has to contain a string that is only a number, nothing else: S2I("50") would return 50.
The moment there's any other character in the string, it will be set to 0.

In case you were wondering how things like 'A001' work, then this post can help a little.
Basically, 'A001' isn't a string (it never was). It's an integer, just like 48 (decimal) is an integer, or 0010010 (binary) is an integer and 8F (hexadecimal) is an integer.
It uses a base-256 system.

is there any way to convert it to integer ?

This works: call BJDebugMsg( I2S('a') ).
It will return 97 (because a = 97 in the ASCII-table).
'A' will return 65.

The problem is that (I believe) it can only contain either 1 character (like 'a'), or 4 characters (like 'abcd').
2 or 3 won't work (haven't tried any higher either).

But then again, those aren't strings :/.

ik about ASCII values but thx apocalypse although i did not know the actual values i knew about it thx for the link anyways

next question is there any way to change strings to ascii ?
also y does '"A1"' and '"A3"' give same values ?
i was hoping this way would work but no it does is there any way to get something like this to work ? thx

        set i = S2I("'00A1'")
        call BJDebugMsg(I2S(i))
        set i = S2I("'00A3'")
        call BJDebugMsg(I2S(i))
        set i = S2I("'00A5'")
        call BJDebugMsg(I2S(i))
        set i = S2I("'00A7'")
        call BJDebugMsg(I2S(i))

A1 and A3 are not numbers.Ascii and Hexadecimals only works
also about that above,you are putting those values even though they are not existing in the object editor

 

[deathismyfriend]

'"A1"' has the ascii (') on the ends and (") in between them im guessing tht the (") r the ones tht mess w the ascii values and ik they arent in object editor what im trying to do has nothing to do w object editor im just trying to find a way to convert a string like "A1" or "A3" into an integer like if im in a game and type A1 in the chat i was trying to convert tht to an integer i could use for other things

 

[Almia]

what about create a local or a globals?

 

[deathismyfriend]

not really sure what u mean by tht almia sry can u explain a little more plz ?

 

[Nestharus]

Why not just link him to what he's asking for instead of making him run around in circles for another 3-5 pages -.-

oh sorry

 

[deathismyfriend]

thx nestharus i would like to hear ur option tho almia ?

        set i = S2I("'00A1'")
        call BJDebugMsg(I2S(i))
        set i = S2I("'00A3'")
        call BJDebugMsg(I2S(i))
        set i = S2I("'00A5'")
        call BJDebugMsg(I2S(i))
        set i = S2I("'00A7'")
        call BJDebugMsg(I2S(i))

You need

set i = '00A1'
call BJDebugMsg(I2S(i))

This is because '00A1'is not a string, nor a character (just as ap0calypse said)

cokemonkey ik wat ur trying to say nestharus already sent me a link i was looking to return an integer from a string i typed in so tht doesnt work w how ur trying to show me thx tho
