SubString Position Questions

[ShadowInTheD]

I'm so confused with strings.. Switching the characters in a returned save code is confusing me so bad.

First question: Is the 'c' in the string "abcdefg" == SubString("abcdefg", 2 , 3)?

|A|B|C|D|E|F|G|
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

a == SubString("abcdefg", 0 , 1)
b == SubString("abcdefg", 1 , 2)
c == SubString("abcdefg", 2 , 3)
d == SubString("abcdefg", 3 , 4)
e == SubString("abcdefg", 4 , 5)
f == SubString("abcdefg", 5 , 6)
g == SubString("abcdefg", 6 , 7)

Yes.

So I have another question:

The line

    set udg_CodePerPlayer[GetPlayerId(pl)] = SubString(udg_CodePerPlayer[GetPlayerId(pl)],0,4) + characterPosition[42] + SubString(udg_CodePerPlayer[GetPlayerId(pl)],5,41)+characterPosition[5]+SubString(udg_CodePerPlayer[GetPlayerId(pl)],42,48)

is creating the same character at 5 and 42, why?

you posted only one line, we dont know what charaterposition array is.
What do you want to do with this trigger?

Ok, so I have a string: udg_CodePerPlayer, and I want to switch to characters in this string: 5 and 42.

CharacterPosition = the i'th character in the string, i.e. CharacterPosition[5] = 5th character in the string.

If I understand right; you should have an other variable to store one of these values, I doubt it's as easy as switching places with these two and keep their original values. Haven't worked with this yet, so I might be wrong.

 

[ShadowInTheD]

That gives me an amazing idea..

Why don't I just add all of the CharacterPosition together instead of switching just 10 characters..

Am not quite sure what you're meaning. But aslong as you got helped I'm satisfied.
