Detecting a strings length.

[Gorella]

How would I go about detecting a strings length for a customizable system.

Code: [Select]

function serverCmdCreateTribe(%client, %Tribename)
{
if(%Tribename//Stringlength > 10)
return;
//stuff
}

strLen(%string);

Also, please format your code.

Code: [Select]

function serverCmdCreateTribe(%client, %Tribename)
{
    if(strLen(%Tribename) > 10)
return;

    //stuff
}

Yes, I usually do format my code but I was in quite a hurry while typing that. Anyway, thanks for the help.

P.S: One last question, instead of using a getRandom itself. How could I use something along it's lines but in a list. Such as...

Code: [Select]

[1]Possible Item = "CopperOre"
[2]Possible Item = "IronOre"
[3]Possible Item = "GoldOre"

function giverandomitem(%client)
{
//GetRandomItemFromList
%client.quantity[" PossibleItem "] += getRandom(1,10);
}


[Kalphiter]

Code: (TS) [Select]

PossibleItem[1] = "";
PossibleItem[2] = "";
PossibleItem[3] = "";

function giverandomitem(%client)
{
%randomkey = mCeil(getrandom() * 3));
%client.quantity[%randomKey] += mCeil(getrandom() * 10);
}
We use "%randomKey" to grab a random array key between 0 and 3, and round it up into an integer.


We use getrandom() to produce a random floating point decimal in between 0 and 1.

We multiply that by 10, so that it's between 0 and 10.

And we round it up so that it's an integer.

Why are you feeding him your lack of knowledge?

Or we can do it the easy way, and actually make it work.

Code: (TS) [Select]

$PossibleItem[$MaxItems++] = "";
$PossibleItem[$MaxItems++] = "";
$PossibleItem[$MaxItems++] = "";

function giverandomitem(%client)
{
%tool = $PossibleItem[getRandom(1,$MaxItems)];
for(%i=0;%i<%client.player.getDataBlock().maxTools; %i++)
{
if(%client.player.tool[%i] == 0)
{
%client.player.tool[%i] = %tool;
if(%tool.className $= "Weapon")
%client.player.weaponCount++;
messageClient(%client,'MsgItemPickup','',%i,%tool);
break;
}
}
}

No, you just missed the point. They're not supposed to give actual tools(items). So, read his outline again.

And the rest is just preference.

[Ephialtes]

PossibleItem[1] = "";
PossibleItem[2] = "";
PossibleItem[3] = "";

function giverandomitem(%client)
{
   %randomkey = mCeil(getrandom() * 3));
   %client.quantity[%randomKey] += mCeil(getrandom() * 10);
}

Syntax errors. Its quite funny how there's always something wrong with what you do - take some pride in your work.

It's quite funny how I copied directly from what he did.

Not really.

Code: [Select]

[1]Possible Item = "CopperOre"
[2]Possible Item = "IronOre"
[3]Possible Item = "GoldOre"

function giverandomitem(%client)
{
//GetRandomItemFromList
%client.quantity[" PossibleItem "] += getRandom(1,10);
}


Code: (TS) [Select]

PossibleItem[1] = "";
PossibleItem[2] = "";
PossibleItem[3] = "";

function giverandomitem(%client)
{
%randomkey = mCeil(getrandom() * 3));
%client.quantity[%randomKey] += mCeil(getrandom() * 10);
}

[Kalphiter]

Not really.

I was programming in Java, so I forgot.

[Chrono]

You mean half Java half Torquescript?

Yes; Here is a snippet of Java:

Code: (Java) [Select]

int PossibleItem = new int[4];
PossibleItem[3] = "Copper";

Ok, I'm totally confused, I'm going to try Chrono's code and try to tinker a bit with it.
