Pass a string of text to a dialog class

[Iceman77]

I would like to pass a string of text to a dialog class (or w/e its called). I see that 0 = ["some text"] createdialog "RscIceDialog" isn't even an option apparently.

Description.ext Snippet

Code: [Select]

    class ICE_ObjDesc: RscText
                {
                     idc = 1000;
                     text = "some text"; // Would like to be _this select 0
                     x = 0.40238 * safezoneW + safezoneX;
                     y = 0.430476 * safezoneH + safezoneY;
                     w = 0.191666 * safezoneW;
                     h = 0.0280952 * safezoneH;
                };


[h-]

I guess there's more elegant way of doing this but you could try if set/getVariable works

Code: [Select]

missionNamespace setVariable ["myvaribname","string to the dialog"]

Code: [Select]

    class ICE_ObjDesc: RscText
                {
                     idc = 1000;
                     text = missionNamespace getVariable "myvaribname";
                     x = 0.40238 * safezoneW + safezoneX;
                     y = 0.430476 * safezoneH + safezoneY;
                     w = 0.191666 * safezoneW;
                     h = 0.0280952 * safezoneH;
                };
Possible though that the text property actually expects a string instead of code..

Code: [Select]

createDialog "RceIceDialog";
((findDisplay YOUR_DLG_IDD) displayCtrl 1000) ctrlSetText (_this select 0);
