Scripting : How change hintstring when Press button.

[Salem75]

Hi,
I'll let you now know how change hintstring After press button , for example from ("Press ^2[F]^7 To use") to ("^1Wait")

PHP Code:

		init() 
{ 
lovyshka = getent("lov1", "targetname"); 
uselov = getent("flov1", "targetname");
k1 = getent("lov1kg", "targetname"); 
k2 = getent("lov1kr", "targetname"); 
    while(1) 
    {
    k2 hide();
    uselov sethintstring("^2Press [F] to use ");
    uselov waittill("trigger", user);
    k1 hide();
    k2 show();
    uselov sethintstring("^1Wait... ");
    lovyshka movez(-200,0.3);
    lovyshka waittill ("movedone");
    wait (10);
    lovyshka movez(200,3);
    lovyshka waittill ("movedone");
    wait (10);
    uselov sethintstring("^2Press [F] to use ");
    k2 hide();
    k1 show();
    } 
} 
	

Enjoy !

Notice : You can also use colors .

Test this in developer mode, as it will show you that your strings should be localizedstrings.

Aside from that, you're not precaching them either.

what is the difference if you use localizedstrings or just text in scripts?

You can localize your text (one identifier-string in your code - multiple languages in the game).
However, you need to precache your localized string in your script (precacheString() iirc) and you have to add your translations in a file, i guess it was somename.localized or sth like that.

You also could use libcod for that.
