CustDesc phase/timing

[frumple]

Anyone know what is the phase/timing to replace a thing's CustDesc field in a script and have it show up on that thing's pop-up?

I don't think CustDesc is ever used in the mouse-overs. CustDesc is mostly obsolete. #appenddesc is now the preferred method of adding text.

 

[frumple]

Ok. Is there a way to prevent the auto linebreaks when using #appenddesc?

 

[ShadowChemosh]

Speaking of the #appenddesc macro anyway to get to see what its doing, ie its Eval Script, as I would like to adjust the desc of some stuff at the beginning instead of the end.

That would also help frumple out as he could stop it from adding the "/n" that is causing the line break.

#appenddesc[#thing,#descript] is:

perform state.thing[#thing].amendthing[description,state.thing[#thing].field[descript].text & "{br}{br}" & #descript]

Sweet Thanks!

 

[frumple]

Awesome! Thanks!

Just out of curiosity, is there a similar macro/function for prepending text?

I don't think there is.

Its what I need to do also. Why I asked to see the code. So it would just be:

perform state.thing[#thing].amendthing[description, #descript & state.thing[#thing].field[descript].text]

Change out the # Parameters to actual values/fields and your good to go.
