Question: NAME[3] STRING ACTOR VARIABILE

[equinox]

HI at ALL,

I do not know how to use this var to give a name. I do:
NAME[0] = " EROE";
NAME[1] = " EROE1";
NAME[2] = " EROE2";

TEXT.text = NAME[1];...but not work.
------------------------
NAME: string actor var
ATTORE[0] = CreateActor("EROE_1", "EROE_1", "(none)", "(none)", 0, -1, true);
ATTORE[0]->NAME = "heroe";<---not work:



Please,help me with this code?

Tnk1000.

Okay, you can't use math signs with strings. If you want an outside event to change the text of an actor, you would need to do this

Code: Select all

strcpy(TEXT.text, NAME[0]);

I can't tell if there was another question. If there was just ask.

[equinox]

NAME: string actor var
ATTORE[0] = CreateActor("EROE_1", "EROE_1", "(none)", "(none)", 0, -1, true);
ATTORE[0]->NAME = "heroe";<---not work:<----------WHY ??

Qustion #2
Actor *ATTORE[3];
NOM = Actor String variable

strcpy(ATTORE[0]->NOM,"Leone");
sprintf(WRITE1.text,ATTORE[0]->NOM);<-----WORK

...BUT...
strcpy(ATTORE[1]->NOM,"Joe");
sprintf(WRITE1.1.text,ATTORE[0]->NOM);<-----NOT WORK

WRITE1.1...the error?

for moment...Tnk1000 for help me.

Okay, string setting should be done by strcpy. This is just how it is.

Code: Select all

strcpy(ATTORE[0]->NAME,"heroe");

This string you used is a char*? That would be my preference.

You cannot do actor.1.variable. This is not allowed, instead you can use the getclone function, I believe, or some derivative. What are you trying to do? Is WRITE1 an actor? If so, I believe there is a better way to do what you want it to do, but I can't tell with the given information. Anyway, you would just pass it a pointer to the actor struct of WRITE1, and point it to text.
This is Cleve Blakemore's version of the getClone derivatives. It would go into global code;

Code: Select all

Actor * getCloneIdx (const char *cname, int cindex)    //g_GetCloneByIndex, its original name
{
    char buffer[50];

    sprintf(buffer,"%s.%i",cname,cindex);

    return(getclone(buffer));
}

Then you call it to get the Actor* to WRITE1. So it would be called as such,

Code: Select all

sprintf(getCloneIdx(WRITE1, 1)->text ,ATTORE[0]->NOM);

Or if you are using this multiple times in script, you could create temp Actor*, set that to the getCloneIdx, and use that. I believe that answers your question.

This code above is what I needed

This string you used is a char*? That would be my preference.

Yes, I used this string as a char. I also prefer.

You cannot do actor.1.variable. This is not allowed,

yes, in fact I saw that i can not use in this mode. (

instead you can use the getclone function, I believe, or some derivative.

What are you trying to do? Is WRITE1 an actor?

Y, WRITE1 IS actor. used to print the name of hero.

If so, I believe there is a better way to do what you want it to do, but I can't tell with the given information. Anyway, you would just pass it a pointer to the actor struct of WRITE1, and point it to text.

yes, you answered me in an excellent way to my question.

P.S.:
I just tried the functions,,, but by mistake. I do not understand where is wrong.

[skydereign]

Yeah, sorry. I wrote it in wrong. It is asking for a const char*.

Code: Select all

sprintf(getCloneIdx("WRITE1", 1)->text ,ATTORE[0]->NOM);

That should work.

[equinox]

Tnk,

sprintf(getCloneIdx("WRITE1", 1)->text ,ATTORE[0]->NOM);<----WORK.
...but..

HP = 50; Actor var
sprintf(getCloneIdx("WRITE1", 1)->textnumber ,ATTORE[0]->HP);<----NOT WORK.

sprintf(getclone("WRITE1.0")->text,ATTORE[0]->NOM);<---WORK
sprintf(getclone("WRITE1.0")->textnumber,ATTORE[0]->HP);<---NOT WORK


you can help me yet,please?

[skydereign]

Can you give me the error? It could be as simple as this, we shall see...

Code: Select all

sprintf(getCloneIdx("WRITE1", 1)->textNumber ,ATTORE[0]->HP);

The difference is textNumber. Originally you had it written as textnumber. If this does not work, then give me the error.

[equinox]

Yes tnk, the error is:

STAMPO1 == WRITE1


sprintf(getclone("WRITE1.0")->text,ATTORE[0]->NOM);<---WORK
sprintf(getclone("WRITE1.0")->textnumber,ATTORE[0]->HP);<---NOT WORK

[skydereign]

If these are not char* or other strings, it is best not to treat that as such. You can do the same thing by doing this.

Code: Select all

getCloneIdx("WRITE1", 1)->textNumber=ATTORE[0]->HP;

Since these are both dealing with ints/doubles, they can be equalized with math symbols.

[equinox]

Tnk1000.

This solution ...work fine.

many thanks to you for help.
