Consider the following fragment of code:
: append "It's a wooden door that is currently ";
: if (is_door_open) {
: append "open.";
}
: else {
: append "closed.";
}
: if (is_lock_broken) {
: append " The lock is broken.";
}
: print "";
Is it possible to do something like this, except building up a string, rather than printing directly to screen?
Yes, you can just use "+" between two strings in the expression syntax.
You can set the result to a string or you can append directly inside a print.
You can also append in a dynamic string reference too (not demonstrated below).
start_at = start
locations { start; }
strings { tmp : string ; }
integers { seven : integer "7" ; two : integer "2" ; }
on_startup {
: print {("This " + "is " + "a " + "built " + "string ("+(seven+two)+")." )}
: press_any_key ;
: set_string var = "tmp" {( "This " + "is " + "a " + "built " + "string ("+(seven*two)+")." )}
: print "{tmp}" ;
: press_any_key ;
}I updated the document to show a second example of this (there was already one in there), but I made the second example more obvious.
