hi,

this is a stupid question but how do I convert a integer into a string?

This is my code so far

init()
{
	for (i = 0; i < getDvar("sv_maxclients"); i++)
	{
		setDvar("nameplayer[i]","");
	}
	wait 1;
	
}

It returns an error saying that it contains a mix of 'int' and 'string'.

I know its something simple but I havnt had much sleep so cant find the problem.

Cheers

For getting a dvar that's a number, use getdvarint()/getdvarfloat() because getdvar() returns a string.

init()
{
	for (i = 0; i < getDvarint("sv_maxclients"); i++)
	{
		setDvar("nameplayer[i]","");
	}
	wait 1;
	
}

I'm not sure what you're trying to do here, is it giving all the players a blank name or something? The in nameplayer will be ignored because it's part of a string inside quotes.

Hi Dobby

This is part of a gsc file which I want to set up blank Dvars at the start of each level. These Dvars will be later updated throughout the game using a loop, to update them to the current player names throughout the game.

I am using these Dvars to be displayed in the quickmenu commands. It all works from the menu side of things, as I can manually enter a value in the console to one of the Dvars and it will be displayed in the menus.

What I need to know for this to work, is a need the dvar to be a string which includes the loop number on the end.

example from init:
Dvar: nameplayer1 = ""
Dvar: nameplayer2 = ""
etc...

Then during game it will be updated to display the player names
Dvar: nameplayer1 = "Joe Bloggs"
Dvar: nameplayer2 = "NovemberDobby"
etc..

Basically all I need to know is how to get that loop index number into the dvar string, so it is saved as a string along with 'nameplayer'.
I know it is something so simple, I have tried getDvarInt and it didnt work...

If you can help me there will be lots of <3

cheers

Ok. You'd do something like:

init()
{
	while(1)
	{
		players = getentarray("player", "classname");

		for (i = 0; i < getDvarint("sv_maxclients"); i++)
			if(isdefined(players[i]))
				setdvar("nameplayer" + i, players[i].name);
			else
				setdvar("nameplayer" + i, "");

		wait 1;
	}
}

That might work.

Yeah that should work, unless nameplayer is an array and you're passing through one of it's entries that is a string, in which case you just take out the quotes

setdvar(nameplayer, "");

yeh thanks, novembers example worked like a charm. Just tweaked it a little bit to fit into what I wanna do.
I always seem to make everything more complicated than it needs to be

thnx for the replies
