Identifying char numbers in strings. [SOLVED]

[mode7]

I want to play a different sound when a certain type-character is at a certain position in a string

First I tried this:

if (text.Chars[trunc] == I) {
   aI.PlayQueued();}

- which does not work

Then I tried this

if (text.Chars[trunc] == 78) {
   aI.PlayQueued();}

- which works BUT now I have to manually find out which char number corresponds to which letter. Is there an easier way to do this or at least a table somewhere, where I can identify char numbers?

Thanks in advance!

The simplest way for displayable characters is to use what is referred to as a character-literal. You had basically the right idea, but for AGS to understand that it's a character-literal and not, for example, a script variable or something, you have to enclose it in single quotes, i.e.:

Code: ags

if (text.Chars[trunc] == 'I') {
  aI.PlayQueued();
}

If the character is non-displayable (for example, the escape key) you can use the proper enumerated value:

Code: ags

if (text.Chars[trunc] == eKeyEscape) {
  aEscape.PlayQueued();
}

I knew I was very close to the solution thanks man

Glad you got it sorted out. So are you turning the keyboard into some sort of keyboard?

No, wanted to play certain sounds depending on what text the player entered, of course your idea would be very possible - I wonder why there isn't such a thing yet.
