Title: Hint format localize
Post by: klavan on 14 May 2005, 17:51:18

I need help with the sintax, as the following is wrong: i've always receive error message like <<error hint: array, expected string>>

Code: [Select]

hint [format [localize "STRM_Stat_1"], _grnum, _dbehav, _dform, _dsoldiers, _group]
The string should be as the following:

Code: [Select]

STRM_Stat_1,"Group %1\nRadio name: %5\nBehaviour: %2\nFormation: %3\nNumber of units: %4\nEmbarked: YES","Gruppo %1\nNome radio: %5\nApproccio: %2\nFormazione: %3\nNumero di unità: %4\nImbarcato: SI'"

Can anyone help, please?
Thanks for your help!

For me it is problem with "format" and it should look like:

Code: [Select]

hint format ["%1", localize "STRM_Stat_1"], _grnum, _dbehav, _dform, _dsoldiers, _group]

My guess is

hint format ["localize {STRM_Stat_1}", _grnum, _dbehav, _dform, _dsoldiers, _group]

assuming the string in the stringtable has %1, %2 and so on scattered throughout it in the right places.   It's hard to see on the Code posted above.

Eheheh! None of your solutions were right, but mac's suggestion reminds me the traslation I've did for Un-Impossible Mission and a particular line of it's .csv. So I've de-PBOed the mission and found the solution:

hint format [localize "STRM_Stat_1", _grnum, _dbehav, _dform, _dsoldiers, _group]

Thank you guys.

PS.
@mac
About 3 weeks ago, after 27 (!!!) attempts, I completed it, but please don't make another mission like that no more! ;D

Well done klavan! :thumbsup:

Don't worry, the next one - Regina Proeliorum, which I hope will be released in about September/October, will be much easier.   You can do translation for that too if you like.  

*gets back on topic*

Told you I was crap at syntax.    ;D
