[SCRIPT] Is it possible to set a message through a string variable?

[MrBehemoth]

PHP Code: (Select All)

// lang file
<CATEGORY Name="Messages">
        <Entry Name="CatMessage">I have a cat</Entry>
</CATEGORY>

// script
SetLocalVarString("StringVar", "CatMessage")
SetMessage("Messages", GetLocalVarString("StringVar"), 0); 


...would work. As long as the 2nd parameter is a string that points to a lang file entry, not the content itself.

Edit - Mr Mudbill beat me to it, but we're pretty much saying the same thing.

Edit Edit:

There's nothing stopping you from doing something like this:

PHP Code: (Select All)

// lang file
<CATEGORY Name="Messages">
        <Entry Name="CatYes">I have a cat</Entry>
        <Entry Name="CatNo">I dont have a cat</Entry>
</CATEGORY>

// script
string GotCat = "No";
SetMessage("Messages", "Cat"+GotCat, 0);
