Message Boxes and Passing Strings

[bluemarvin]

Is there a way to use strings in a Message Box displayed by way of the Show function?

 

I know how to pass numbers into a message, but not strings.

 

So for example, let's say I has an int variable where if set to 1 that means "Green" is the player's favorite color, where if 2 it means "Blue" is the favorite.

 

Then I want to display a Message Box that tells you whether that variable is set to "Blue" or "Green" ... like:

 

"Your favorite color is currently set to: Blue"

 

Is this possible? I suppose I can do this with a Debug.MessageBox command, but was wondering if there's a way with MyMsg.Show() instead?

Have a look at this http://www.creationkit.com/Text_Replacement

 

It says it can be used with messages too.

Thanks, not sure if that will work for what I'm trying to do but it gives me a shot at least. I guess it will depend on if this will work outside a quest.

 

Thanks for the idea.

All too easy. Simply have two different Message forms. The first has the message "Your favorite color is currently set to: Blue". The second has the message "Your favorite color is currently set to: Green".

Then you simply code an "if" statement in your script:

 

ScriptName myScript extends whatever

Message Property BlueMessage auto
Message Property GreenMessage auto
int Property favcolor auto

Event SomeEvent()
   If favcolor == 1
        BlueMessage.show()
   ElseIf favcolor == 2
        GreenMessage.show()
   EndIf
EndEvent
