Variables in Defname - alexpetro - 05-05-2012 07:36 PM

I'm working on quest system, and i would use variables in the quest dialog (defname), does it possible?

well you can't directly use variables on defnames, but can use when calling them like:

local.quest_loot=<def.quest_<eval <tag.questno>>_loot>

Shaklaban is right. Though it is possible to create workarounds depending on how you call the defname. Using double brackets is the first thing that pops into my mind:

Code:

def.lol = "gold"

sysmessage i have <<def.lol>> gold.

Give us an example of how you plan to use them.

Thanks but, this is not what i'm serching. The primary scope of my request is have dynamic dialogs in the quest system, like in the following example:

QUEST_13204_TEXTLOCALIZED "<SRC.NAME> I nedd... and you have to go to the blacksmith here in <src.region.name>"

Could be a great feature, if is it possible to implement.

Thanks.

its a definition, definitions are generally fixed values in programming. you can use functions for that purpose like:

PHP Code:

[function QUEST_13204_TEXTLOCALIZED]
return <SRC.NAME> I nedd... and you have to go to the blacksmith here in <src.region.name> 

it is possible to use variables in function names like:

PHP Code:

local.questnum=13204
src.sysmessage <quest_QUEST_<eval <local.questnum>>_TEXTLOCALIZED> 

you can also add arguments to text when you calling function.

or you can use clilocs.

There is always workarounds like this one...

Code:

[FUNCTION DEFVAL]

LOCAL.STRING Ð<ARGS>

WHILE (<STRPOS 0 60 <LOCAL.STRING>> > -1)

LOCAL.LAST <STRLASTPOS 60 <LOCAL.STRING>>

LOCAL.NEXT <EVAL <STRPOS <LOCAL.LAST> 62 <LOCAL.STRING>>+-<LOCAL.LAST>>

LOCAL.STRING <STRSUB 0 <LOCAL.LAST> <LOCAL.STRING>><<STRSUB <EVAL <LOCAL.LAST>+1> <EVAL <LOCAL.NEXT>+-1> <LOCAL.STRING>>><STRSUB <EVAL <LOCAL.LAST>+<LOCAL.NEXT>+1> 0 <LOCAL.STRING>>

ENDWHILE

LOCAL.STRING <STRSUB 1 0 <LOCAL.STRING>>

RETURN <LOCAL.STRING>

[FUNCTION STRLASTPOS]

LOCAL.CHAR <STRARG <ARGS>>

LOCAL.NEWSTRING <STREAT <ARGS>>

WHILE (<STRPOS 0 <dLOCAL.CHAR> <LOCAL.NEWSTRING>> > -1)

LOCAL.LASTCHAR <EVAL <STRPOS 0 60 <LOCAL.NEWSTRING>>>

LOCAL.NEWSTRING <STRSUB 0 <STRPOS 0 <dLOCAL.CHAR> <LOCAL.NEWSTRING>> <LOCAL.NEWSTRING>>#<STRSUB <EVAL <STRPOS 0 <dLOCAL.CHAR> <LOCAL.NEWSTRING>>+1> 0 <LOCAL.NEWSTRING>>

ENDWHILE

RETURN <EVAL <LOCAL.LASTCHAR>>

Not sure if it still works, but I created this to emulate the PHP function eval().
So you can do something like this... <defval <def0.lol>> and it will evaluate any variables inside the def Smile
