Scripting a function (SOLVED)

[Vel]

Hey there.
So, I've got this script in the global one:

function DisplaySubtitle(CHARID, string buffer){
   DisplaySpeechAt(160, 235, 320, CHARID, "%s", buffer);
   }

And it gives me an error on the string... I tried some other possibilities but failed to make it work :/ So, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Why not just DisplaySpeechAt(160, 235, 320, CHARID, buffer); ? I don't think that function supports %s, BTW.

Tried that also - buffer not defined.

Hm, don't know much about this, but are you sure that the string is being transferred to the function correctly?  You might want to try this as a test:

Display("%s", buffer);

The problem could be the string itself.

CHARID is a reserved variable I think.

this one works :

function DisplaySubtitle(int charID, string buffer){
   DisplaySpeechAt(160, 235, 320, charID, buffer);
}

You never specified the data type for one of the input paramaters of the function

Oh I got it Dorcan, thanks a lot!

Yes, CHARID is a bit of a confusing one. It is actually a present used internally which defines to "int charid" -- therefore you can use it in the function parmaeter list, but not as a variable in the actual code.

Basically, avoid using it at all.
