Changing String

[JJ2197]

I want to know if I were to say "a" it would make it "b"
Like for instance if I were to say -a then made it display to myself it would show b

This was my attempt

function StringConv takes string s returns string
if s=="a"then
return "b"
endif
return s
endfunction

if SubString(s,0,2)=="-a"then
call DisplayTextToPlayer(p,0,0,StringConv(s))

[weirdone2]

You'll have to make s=SubString(GetEventPlayerChatString(),1,2)

[JJ2197]

But I don't want it just for 1,2 I want it to do it wherever I say it... =/

then do multiple comparisons.

if x = s,1,2 , else if x = s,2,3, else... it wont work in the whole thing

[weirdone2]

So something like this?

function StringConv takes string s returns string
local integer i=0
local string ss=""
local integer is=StringLength(s)
loop
exitwhen i>is
if SubString(s,i,i+1)=="a"then
set ss=ss+:b"
else
set ss=ss+"-"
endif
set i=i+1
endloop
return ss
endfunction

Then just make a trigger that registers "" and then it will detect any msg and if the msg contains any a's in it it will display a msg to you with the b for example if somewere were to say "hey what up" it would display "------b----" of cource if they said something like "hello" you would just get "-----"

I still want it to show all the string though... like if I said abc it would display bbc... you know... =/

Otherwise this isn't going to work at all for what I have planned...

[weirdone2]

...

function StringConv takes string s returns string
local integer i=0
local string ss=""
local integer is=StringLength(s)
loop
exitwhen i>is
if SubString(s,i,i+1)=="a"then
set ss=ss+"b"
else
set ss=ss+SubString(s,i,i+1)
endif
set i=i+1
endloop
return ss
endfunction

Not sure what the ... was for, but thanks it works great...
Though if you care what I am going to use it for... Multi-colors on my say command...

[weirdone2]

My ... represented my silence in the fact that you couldn't figure out hwo to change the - into the orginal chat. ;/
