Generated text/info - Elven - 09-27-2011
Is it possible to post ingame generated information? For example I want to show player what is stored local int called "lolz"?
Or is it possible to combine texts what shows in game?
For example I add from category "lolz" and I want it to be like entities 1 + 2.
So it starts as entity 1 and finishes with entity 2

You can't, but you can create different entries and show needed one with a switch statement.

This way I will show them one by one?

If you want the user to see multiple information without bombarding the player with text, you'll need timers.
RE: Generated text/info - Elven - 09-27-2011
Can you explain by the "multiple information"? You mean showing many texts at the same time? Or one after another?

Much text; one after another would be after the timers are set.

So you are saying, it is possible to show multiple texts at the same time as well :/? I need to test this
. Any ideas how then? (Gonna test tomorrow or so)RE: Generated text/info - Your Computer - 09-27-2011

I'll rephrase "much text": One entry in the .lang file with a lot of text.
Showing multiple entries without a timer will cause the entry after the current one to cancel the current entry.

Oh I see. Then it sux
... I need to think another way then ;P. TY for your answers !RE: Generated text/info - DRedshot - 09-28-2011
I don't fully understand your post
Are you asking if:
entry 1 says "Hello"
entry 2 says "There"
Are you asking if entry 1+entry 2 == "Hello There"?
If you are, then no, unfortunately...
The only alternative is to create a combination of entries like so:
entry 1 == "Hello"
entry 2 == "There"
entry 3 == "Hello There"
entry 4 == "There Hello"
This method is ok for most situations, but if you want to make something like a clock, you could end up with between 1440 - 86400 lines of code, depending on if you include a second hand or not...
