Scripts and strings

[ownerofbabylon]

How do you store a string?? So like say I want to save how many times they chopped a piece of wood. I use the random script and if the number is greater than lets say 50 then they chopped the wood right and it adds one log to a string. Then if they go into a shop and say sell wood, it looks at the string and buys that many logs from them? Does anyone have any ideas?? I will pay anything for this (within reason)

Strings are automatically stored in the player's account..

NPC Code:

---

setstring <stringname>,<vaule of the string (number or ASCII crap)>;

---

is how you set a string and

NPC Code:

---

#s(<stringname>)

---

is how you call the string for its true value and

NPC Code:

---

strtofloat(#s(<stringname>))

---

is how you use a strings numerical value (probably what you would be using it for).

hmmm,

could u do a basic one that has a random system between Iron, Gold, and platinum(and of course non found)...
If you could do this so it stores the amount of that type of mineral so that i could sell it buy saying sell then the item name...
I will do almost anything to learn this so i can use it for other types of situations also..
