Need Scripting Help

[raiden0899]

I was trying to set a string with another string in its name like this:

NPC Code:

---

setstring clientr.bla_#s(this.string)bla,value;

---

When I used that in my script, it just set clientr.bla_bla and left out the
#s(this.string). Is there a way to do something like that?

Setting this.string prior to setting clientr.bla_#s(this.string)bla would be the way to go.

Post the relevant code, else we can only believe you've done something wrong since it does work.

if this.string is a number, #v(strtofloat(#s(this.string))) instead of just #s(this.string).
By setting it, you are supposed to give it a value, not just use it in a setstring with nothing, if that might be the problem.
Also, is the this.string in another npc? If it is, then it wouldn't work. this.var's are variables only for that npc.

1) It is set in the same npc that is supposed to read it.
2) I said this.string, not this.var. It is a string (text), not a variable (number).
3) Lance, please don't just assume I'm noob scripter. I'm actually pretty good.

I don't see any problem. I tried it, and it worked fine. It's probably just a small error. You should post to code, like Lance said.

Ugh, no. That's wasteful and accomplishes nothing.

The only thing I'm assuming is that you're doing something wrong. Not posting the relevant code is not helping anyone help you.
