MCM Translation expand string?

[smashly]

Hi,

I have a mod I updated and I'm now adding translation support for the mcm side of things.

The problem I have is when I want to add some text to a translation string it fails.

Example:

In my translation file:

$Evict    Evict

In my MCM script:

sClear[0] = "$Evict" + " " + (idx + 1) + " " + (nthAlias.GetActorRef().GetLeveledActorBase().GetName() As String)

I was hoping it would produce:

Evict # Name

But instead it produces:

$Evict # Name

Obviously this is because the translation is looking for "$Evict # Name" and not "$Evict".

So how do I get the $Evict string value so I can expand on it.

Is there a expand variable flag or something along the lines.

 

In most cases I can work around it, but surely I'm just missing a simple flag to expand the string variable before appending text to the end of it.

 

Any input is welcome.

Enclose the extra part inside {}

 

Example from a mod I'm working on.

 

Defined in the translation file as...

$Ammo{}	{}

Called in the MCM script as...

ArrowOrder[Z] = "$Ammo{"+EntryName+"}"

The output in my case is the value that is assigned during run time to the string EntryName. You might need to play with it a bit to have the string that you want.

Thank You so much.

That's exactly what I was looking for.

I tried searching skse, CK wiki, papyrus and skyUi and I didn't see any mention of it.

 

All the best and thank you once again
