String/int merging
« on: June 15, 2010, 03:43:30 pm »
Hey, my first topic :D

Anyway, im trying to use external levels for my upcoming game.
So far I managed to make the tilemap editor and store the map in AppVars.
The game currently has the ability to load 1 level.

But im trying to merge an integer into a string, so that the level loading is dynamic.

However, I don't know how. Already tried this:
Code: [Select]
1->L
"vSpLvl0"+L->Str0

But, I was unsuccesful.
Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Ikkerens

Try this:
Code: [Select]
1->L
"vSpLvl00"->Str0
L+'0'->{Str0+7}

Should load levels from 00-09.  If you need more, you have to replace the first digit also.

Could you clarify that line for me please?
I don't really see what you're doing right there.
Thanks.

The string is in memory somewhere in the program.  So all we need to do is right before we load the levels, change one letter from a 0 to a 1 for instance.  That would be the 8th byte of that string which is a +7 offset from the start.

Since these are ascii characters in the string and not actually numbers, we have to convert the number L from a number to an ascii character.  Since the ascii characters are in order, we can just start at the character '0' and then add the offset to find the character.
