So I have a function and I want to print a msg inside that function and print one of the parameters I passed that function. I tried using the {} but that doesn't work.

For example: I call function -> combat ("Bad Guy", 5, 4)

Function is -> <function name="combat" parameters="mname, mskill, mstamina">

How do I print the mname in a msg function?

I tried - > msg ("The monster name is {mname}.") and it prints {mname} instead of the name I passed it.

The text processor knows not of local variables.

Try this:

msg ("The monster name is " + mname + ".") 

Awesome. Thanks.

Yayuh!

PS

If you use the GUI, be sure to make it an "expression" in the drop-down:

The text processor knows not of local variables.

What's the meaning of that?
I know the text processor...a bit, but have only two uses for it.

The text processor can read attributes which are set on objects, but not a local variable from a script.

So, if you have the local variable mname in your script, you could do this:

// Set the local variable 'mname':
mname = "J. Belushi"
// Create a temporary attribute on the game object, set to mname:
game.temp_mname = mname
// Print the text:
msg("{game.temp_mname}")
// Delete the temporary attribute:
game.temp_mname = null

the text processor uses 'Attribute' VARIABLES (VARIABLES contained within an Object):

NAME_OF_OBJECT.NAME_OF_ATTRIBUTE
NAME_OF_OBJECT.NAME_OF_ATTRIBUTE = VALUE_OR_EXPRESSION

http://docs.textadventures.co.uk/quest/text_processor.html

the text processor can't use local 'Variable' VARIABLES (the local Variables are deleted upon its containing scripting ending/completing):

NAME_OF_Variable
NAME_OF_Variable = VALUE_OR_EXPRESSION
