Code:

---

STRING bed1 = <double.mdl>;
STRING bed2 = <queen.mdl>;
STRING bed3 = <king.mdl>;

var bedNum = 1;


FUNCTION creation(buttonVar,panelVar){ 
	IF (buttonVar == 1 ){ ent_create( "bed + bedNum" ,0,furn_action); }
		
} 

---

basically i want to take the string bed and add what ever value the variable bedNum is equal too. so i'd end up with bed1. what is the correct syntax for this?


any help would be appreciated

Take a look at:
str_for_num
str_cat
str_cpy

thnx for the reply, i took a look at these b4 posting but they really dont provied the effect im looking for. for example in melScript (maya scripting language) if i wanted to add on to a string i would type Code:

---

string $pointAttach = "bob"
string $endAttach = "Model"

select ($pointAttach+$endAttach+"1"); 

---

the result would be any object named bobModel1 would be selected.

i just wanted to know if this kind of string flexability is available in c-script and if so what syntax it would have to be in

Thoses are the three commands you need for the effect you want.
C-Script does not provide the ability to simply "add" strings.
Plus you have to make sure that everything has the data type "string".
A number's data type is "var", so you have to translate it first:
Code:

---

string result_str;
string temp_str;

function select(_string1,_string2,_nr)
{
  str_for_num(temp_str,_nr);
  str_cpy(result_str,_string1);
  str_cat(result_str,_string2);
  str_cat(result_str,temp_str);
}

//How to call, example:
select("Hello"," World ","2007");

result_str = "Hello World 2007";

thank you very much this worked perfectly
