String Manipulation help
 
need a bit of help with these "guild traders" as soon as a guild reserves it changes the caption to "guild trader (GUILDNAME)"

My vendors addon plots the npcs by Add("PIN_GUILDTRADER", "Guild Trader")

Is thier a way for me to have the sting post what ever it finds i thought it was something like

Add("PIN_GUILDTRADER", "Guild Trader%s")

thank you

You probably want to do something like this:

Lua Code:
  1. local Add = ZO_CreateStringId
  2. Add("PIN_GUILDTRADER", "Guild Trader (<<1>>)")
  3.  
  4. zo_strformat(PIN_GUILDTRADER, guildName)

ty cant get it to work like that tho ..is thier anyway for me have it just ignore anyhting past "guild trader"... can always explore guild options later

Can you post a code snippet so I have an idea what are you trying to do?


If I understand correctly, you want to display "Guild Trader" and then later update it to "Guild Trader (Guild Name)".

So you can either make two different strings:
Lua Code:
  1. ZO_CreateStringId("PIN_GUILDTRADER_NONAME", "Guild Trader")
  2. ZO_CreateStringId("PIN_GUILDTRADER_GUILDNAME", "Guild Trader (<<1>>)")
  3.      
  4. local text = guildname ~= nil and zo_strformat(PIN_GUILDTRADER_GUILDNAME, guildName) or GetString(PIN_GUILDTRADER_NONAME)

Or just concatenate strings:
Lua Code:
  1. ZO_CreateStringId("PIN_GUILDTRADER", "Guild Trader")
  2.      
  3. local text = GetString(PIN_GUILDTRADER) .. (guildName ~= nil and guildname or "")

im trying to load pins on to the map from my database the problem is "Guild Trader" will get pinned because its a static name where in "Guild Trader (GUILDNAME)" i cant pin because its being loged under a guild name.. if i could just get it to load all of them with "Guild Trader" regardless of the guild text work the best

Lua Code:
  1. local Add = ZO_CreateStringId
  2.   -- GUILD VENDORS    
  3.     Add("PIN_GUILDTRADER", "Guild Trader")

Lua Code:
  1. local Pins = VendorSavedAccount.Data[Zone .. "/" .. Subzone]
  2. for _, PinData in ipairs(Pins) do 
  3.         -- GUILD VENDORS
  4.         if VendorSaved.GuildTrader and PinData[2] == GetString(PIN_GUILDTRADER) then
  5.             LMP:CreatePin(PinType1, PinData, PinData[4], PinData[5])
  6. end
  7. end

the database tho is logging like this .....

This should work:
lua Code:
  1. local Pins = VendorSavedAccount.Data[Zone .. "/" .. Subzone]
  2. for _, PinData in ipairs(Pins) do
  3.     -- GUILD VENDORS
  4.     if VendorSaved.GuildTrader and (PinData[2]):find(GetString(PIN_GUILDTRADER)) then
  5.         LMP:CreatePin(PinType1, PinData, PinData[4], PinData[5])
  6.     end
  7. end

It's a calendar week, from what I understand. Guilds bid for a week, then the winner has the booth for a week while bids are taken for the next week. If a booth has no bids by the end of a bidding round, it goes up for purchase on a first-come, first-served basis, with the first-come guild getting the booth for the rest of the week.
