How to get strings out of SKSE plugins?

[pipdude111]

Hello. I have dev experience. But, am completely new to C++. I made the simple SKSE plugin from this guide: https://github.com/xanderdunn/skaar/wiki/SKSE%3A-Getting-Started

 

Now, I want to modify it to return a string instead of the number. But, I can't figure out how to change the return type correctly. I've included and tried using "std::string". But, I'm still getting compile errors.

 

Any ideas on the best/easiest way to send strings back into Papyrus?

 

Thank you.

Try if this is working:

 

static BSFixedString GetStringValue(StaticFunctionTag * base)
{
    const char * result = "yay";
    return BSFixedString(result);
}
