Splicing a variable together with format.. Then getting the value?

[Acecool]

;? _this select 0 != _this select 1 : exit

_unit = _this select 0

? _unit == p1 : _unit_id = "p1"
? _unit == p2 : _unit_id = "p2"
? _unit == p3 : _unit_id = "p3"
? _unit == p4 : _unit_id = "p4"
? _unit == p5 : _unit_id = "p5"
? _unit == c1 : _unit_id = "c1"
? _unit == c2 : _unit_id = "c2"
? _unit == c3 : _unit_id = "c3"
? _unit == c4 : _unit_id = "c4"
? _unit == c5 : _unit_id = "c5"
? _unit == c6 : _unit_id = "c6"
? _unit == c7 : _unit_id = "c7"
? _unit == c8 : _unit_id = "c8"
? _unit == c9 : _unit_id = "c9"
? _unit == c10 : _unit_id = "c10"

_Money = format ["%1_Money", _unit_id]

hint format ["%1's Stats\n\nMoney: %2",name _unit,_Money]

Exit

Tried several ways, just returns "p1_Money" etc...

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Aren't you missing the Call command:

_Money = Call format ["%1_Money", _unit_id]

?

Im not exactly sure if this is your error, however this is an error.
_Money = format ["%1_Money", _unit_id] you have %1 strung together with _Money.
I would put in instead of what you have where you define the users i would put:
? _unit == p1 : _unit_id = "p1";_Cash = Moneyp1
Also you do not use call to format just to let you know, this will simply give you an error, call is for calling a .sqf file, not format.

I believe the problem to be that the name command will return the name you have given the units in description.ext  If you have not given them a name you will not get anything - so producing the results you are getting.

Don't you have another thread on this problem?

Hmmm.....I think call can do more than just call sqf files.

Check the comref.

That was for respawning etc etc...


Anyway, it works.. as it was...

Problem is with how I set the variables...

{call format ["%1_Money = 2500", _unit_id]}


To fix:

call format [{%1_Money = 2500}, _unit_id]
