[Trigger] Sub string issue

[Chaosy]

Hello. I was trying to detect if a part of string A matches string B. Somehow it bugs a lot.

• test
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) skips a cinematic sequence
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Cinematic - Send transmission to (All players) from Paladin 0001 <gen> named Chaos: Play No sound and display hej. Modify duration: Set to 2.00 seconds and Don't wait

None of these characters exist in the string "hej"

it should look like:
h
e
j

• Game - Display to (All players) the text: ss

i don't really get why are u do this as you do but if ss is a variable then you never set it
or you wanted s2?

• Custom script: local string udg_message = message

and here u made a local named udg_message :/ u wanted set udg_message = message

Edit: and i think you shouldn't check equivalency char by char.

 

[Chaosy]

ss is just raw data to see if I get pass the condition.

also that local variable is not a fail. It works. If I use:

• Game - Display to (All players) the text: message

it displays "hej"

edit: as far as I know, I need to.

if I got:

string a = "asklosda"
string b = "box"

in order to check if string b contains string a i need to check every character.

 

[Lender]

so your idea is to ---> the message contains color commands and you want to color out that part in final right? in game color system i assume

 

[Chaosy]

Yup. Even though I have not come that far yet.

 

[Lender]

You looping thru every code for every char the string has char by char
Inefficient and easy to mess up

Look just for key chars like the "["

If you found 1 just loop trough the codes which one is there( not char by char)

 

[Chaosy]

Okay, I found the issue.
When I use substring specifically it bugs. It writes differently depending on which number I use.

If I use subsring 1-6 it writes TRIGSTR
1-10 it writes Player 1
1-20 it writes "hej"

I am clueless.. how to fix this.. sure I can write from 1-99 sub string but that's super bad lol

 

[Lender]

hmm I looked in it a bit and it seems it works like GUI predefined strings are locally allocated and saved as TRIGSTR_XXX. Not sure if that is the problem that bugs with substring, but try this.

save the actual message (hej) in a local udg_variable before using it in the Transmission. maybe that prevents the saving of the TRIGSTR

 

[Chaosy]

Yeah, that solves it o-o, that's annoying.

 

[Lender]

I just hate GUI so much T_T

this is quite funny actually, and yes it is true all GUI strings are saved in string table inside the map archive as TRIGSTR_XXX
