Hi everyone,

I have some problems with substrings at the moment.

If I use something like

Code: [Select]

var Number=new String("1234");

var Sub=Number.Substr(2,1);I get 3 as the result, which is right.

But if I use

Code: [Select]

var Number=new String("1234");
var Temp=5678

Number=ToString(Temp);

var Sub=Number.Substr(2,1);I get "null" as the result.

Is there something wrong with converted string?

Thanks
Mac

You will need to do this:

Code: [Select]

Number=new String(ToString(Temp));
var Sub=Number.Substr(2,1);

ToString() only converts the value from number to string, not to string *object*. That's the way strings work in WME, the engine differentiates between plain string values and string objects (mainly for performance reasons).

Yes , I see ...

I have written myself a function to let the actor read a number:

Code: [Select]

function SayNumber(Number)
{
  var Zahl;
  Zahl[0]="null";
  Zahl[1]="eins";
  Zahl[2]="zwei";
  Zahl[3]="drei";
  Zahl[4]="vier";
  Zahl[5]="fünf";
  Zahl[6]="sechs";
  Zahl[7]="sieben";
  Zahl[8]="acht";
  Zahl[9]="neun";

  var GZahl;
  GZahl[0]="Null";
  GZahl[1]="Eins";
  GZahl[2]="Zwei";
  GZahl[3]="Drei";
  GZahl[4]="Vier";
  GZahl[5]="Fünf";
  GZahl[6]="Sechs";
  GZahl[7]="Sieben";
  GZahl[8]="Acht";
  GZahl[9]="Neun";

  var Number2=new String("1234");
  Number2=ToString(Number);

  if(Number2.Length>1) {
     for(var Pos=0; Pos<Number2.Length-1; Pos=Pos+1) {
       if(Pos==0) {
          actor.Talk(GZahl[Number2.Substr(Pos,1)]+" ...","ui\looky\zahlen\"+Number2.Substr(Pos,1)+".ogg");
       } else {
          actor.Talk("... "+Zahl[Number2.Substr(Pos,1)]+" ...","ui\looky\zahlen\"+Number2.Substr(Pos,1)+".ogg");
       }
     }
  }
  actor.Talk("... "+Zahl[Number2.Substr(Number2.Length-1,1)]+".","ui\looky\zahlen_ende\"+Number2.Substr(Number2.Length-1,1)+".ogg");
}
I wanted to give the function an integer number as the parameter. I would have changed the code so that my number is stored in a real string object but the number is randomly generated and so I have to use integers instead. Is there no way to let my actor "speak" such a number with the code above?

Thanks

As I said, if you replace

  Number2=ToString(Number);

with

  Number2=new String(ToString(Number));

it should work (I hope )

[Mac]

Uh, em,

... sorry, I wasn't able to open my eyes wide enough to see that  ...

but now everything is working (not only my eyes but the code).

Thanks a lot
Mac
