No symbols in strings?

09-11-2010, 08:19 PM

Is it just me or I can't put symbols like (, ), and % in strings? It seems to work fine at map start up, but it doesn't look like any of the symbols work as the string changes in-game. I find that strange.

That's how it looks like when at map start up. Of course, as I try to change the string even as the "%" symbol is there, it doesn't ever reappear. I know it's a small detail, but I want to know if there's confirmation on this? If it's something that I can't fix, I'll find another way to represent the same data.

Anitarf	Can we see your code that sets up the initial values as well as the code that is supposed to change the values later?

hmmm...could you use string suffix and prefix for that? keep the suffix and prefix whatever you need it as, and never change it, just change the actual value. i saw that in jBoard multiboard system...i can send you the code if you like...although...i think it's in my map that i pointed out to you. but of course i recruited that jBoard to a map that doesn't really need it, i guess...i just think it's easier to use than not use it :) in my other maps we'll see use of the suffix and prefix which i didn't use in TDHT i think...

DioD	"%%" for "%" "\" for "

Sure, Anitarf. It's a basic function that calls and sets up everything for the multiboard.

JASS:

globals
    multiboard StatsBoard

That sets up everything. This is the function that changes the values.

Hmm... So I have to do double % symbols? I'll try that out right now.

EDIT: Wow, it worked. Thanks DioD. <3<3

Anitarf	Wait, you said the % worked fine at map startup, but your initialization function doesn't have any % in it at all.

09-14-2010, 02:35 PM	#7
Ignitedstar	Oh, that. That function was before DoiD made his suggestion. I got rid of the percents because I didn't think there was any way to fix the string problem and it looked undesirable seeing percent symbols at first only to see them disappear on the next grid space you clicked on.
