I want to convert an integer number to a string.

I hope someone will embarass me by show me how easy it is or that the function already exists.

_st = format["%1",_number]

_st will be the string value of _number

Thanks. I thought I had tried that. I was prepared to be happily embarassed but unfortunately if:
_number = 12345678 then the string returned is "1.23457e+007" and not "12345678"

I have now written my own code to do it (it only works for 8 digits though. Does anyone know the highest object number on any of the maps?

Let me see now.........

Abel....... 103,114
Cain....... 70,770
Eden....... 56,740
Intro....... 0
Noe ....... 177,224

And there you have it.

Well, OFP uses only six digits, so that's the problem...
(I think I told you this at the object thread (??)... Altough the example I gave was utterly wrong...

)
But, a value can not be more than 999999, otherwise it goes 'bananas'...

Thanks. So I could have used Raptorsaurus' method after all. Ah well, I needn't have writtren my own script. In fact I have now changed my script to use Raptorsaurus' method.

Plank: Thanks - how did you do that?

Simple, I loaded each island into WrpEdit, then I used WrpEdit to find out the total number of objects on each island.

Skinning cats you know........

Neat. But what if there are gaps in the object numbers - or does that not happen?

Planck · « **Reply #8 on:** 28 Oct 2004, 22:31:09 »

There shouldn't be any gaps in the number sequence.

Every time an island is saved the objects are effectively renumbered, at least that is the way I understand it.

Well that would make sense.

I will have to look at WrpEdit

Thanks for the tip.
