Hey guys, i'd like to know how do you manage to change a text in english for plural or singular: i.E 1 day - 2 days

ive seen the % operator in words but when i use a sysmessage this operator appears as part of the message. would you please help me with this?

thank you very much

Depends.. if you set the name of items like: Log%s
And if your item has amount = 1, when you click it will show Log and if amount is higher, will show Logs.
This only works for this situation and for pre-defined messages (sphere_msgs.scp)...

Otherwise, there is nothing (hardcoded) to differ plural from singular...

You can use <QVAL <AMOUNT>>1?s:> to add on messages you made having the right object amount checking of course...

i understand, thanks Extreme, maybe wont be bad to create a small function for it

you can use QVAL instead a new function only to parse the text

Code:

SYSMESSAGE <PLURAL Log,Logs>

[FUNCTION Plural]

IF (<AMOUNT> > 1)

  return <ARGV1>

ELSE

  return <ARGV0>

ENDIF

this can be replaced by a single line using QVAL

Code:

SYSMESSAGE <QVAL (<AMOUNT> > 1)? Logs:Log>
