Passing Code into a lang entry?

[DanielRand47]

Hey guys. I'm looking at possibly having a situation where the player has to make it through a section where the lights are slowly being dimmed due to say a lack of power supply. You have 100% power and slowly drain 1% at intervals of 5 seconds. My question is, to know if there is a way to pass data from the hps file into the lang file which is written in XML.

HPS file code example

PHP Code: (Select All)

int Percentage = 100; //Class level variable
void OnStart()
{
  AddTimer("Timer1", 5.0f, "DimLights");
}

void DimLights(string &in asTimer)
{
  int PercentageLost = 1;
  Percentage = Percentage - PercentageLost;

//Some how pass Percentage into lang file.
  SetMessage("Messages", "PowerPercent", 3.0f);
  AddTimer(asTimer, 5.0f, "DimLights");
} 


LANG example

PHP Code: (Select All)

<CATEGORY Name = "Messages">
        <Entry Name = "PowerPercent">"Percentage"%</Entry> <!--Percentage would be passed in from the hps file into the lang xml file.-->
</CATEGORY> 


Does anyone know how to do this. Pass data from a script file into a XML file (LANG file)
