Smbx 1.4.5: weird strings

[NESTED ERNEST]

Something weird about strings is that you can't get a value directly:

* String variable and get a string from the table:

Code: Select all

dim var1 as string
var1=str(vartable)   '← fails

But if I concatenate it with a "" it is fixed

Code: Select all

dim var1 as string
var1=str(vartable) & ""   '← works


* String gets a name property of an npc

Code: Select all

dim sssa as string
sssa=npc(1).name   '← it fails


But this works:

Code: Select all

dim sssa as string
sssa=npc(1).name & ""


* In a function:
This fails

Code: Select all

script corr(return string)
   dim sss as string="sdddddddddddd"   
   
   return sss
end script

But if I add "", it works:

Code: Select all

script corr(return string)
   dim sss as string="sdddddddddddd"   
   
   return sss & ""
end script
