Number to String conversion

[Mergon]

Ok, I am frustrated.

Is there a function in HL scripting that allows you to convert a number into a string?

I am trying to put a string together that includes a number.

i.e.: sString = "I am number " & iNumber & " in the line up." where iNumber is assigned it's value from a numeric field value.

I am either slow, or just plain stupid. I can't find such a function and its something so necessary that it has to be there . . .

It's automatic. The line of code you posted should work as written with just the variable there.

Since I now know thanks to you that its automatic, I went and took a closer look at my scripting. Lo & behond, a simple, stupid error . . . I forgot a set of close quotes on 2 lines

<sigh>

When creating a custom expression to give you a list of skills,

component.BaseSkill gives you a list of all skills.

What do you add to the expression to get a list of skills the hero is NOT proficient in?

If you're proficient in a skill, the Helper.Proficient flag is added. So, you need to check for the flag not being there.

component.BaseSkill & !Helper.Proficient

Many thanks, that is definitely not something I had tried . . .

Take a look at THIS thread as it has info about making Custom Expression. I include the different types of "or" and "and" statements in expressions.

Yea, that was a Topic I created. I just couldn't figure out '& !Helper.Proficient'.

Thanks for the reminder though.

LOL I guess you did. I honestly didn't notice until I looked now. I just remember writing up a big post about Custom Expressions and how they work. I don't remember "who" was asking.
