String variables
New Creator
15 Jul 2004, 13:50I wonder if you can help me out. I have coded a string variable #V1name# and was hoping to create a "go to" exit that would use it. The string variable works fine during the game (Inserting #V1name# in a sentence gives off the content of the string), but after I named the "go to" exit "Travel to #V1name#", all that appears is "Travel to" and the error log tells me "'V1name' no such string defined". Can you help out a little?
Thanks
Thanks

It would be easier to understand your problem

17 Jul 2004, 02:22Just to make sure I understood Alex's reply... all I want to do is so that the name of the 'go to' exit (the little name that appears in the objects box) includes the contents of the string variable. Did Alex say that was impossible, or did he misunderstand my question?
Thanks
Thanks
