Zugg Software :: View topic - String-list not sensitive?

Wanderer Joined: 23 May 2001 Posts: 68 Location: Sweden

In one of my trigger I use a color value if the player is a member of the string list variable.

That is,
Pattern: {@string_list}
Value: #color red

Problem: I just noticed that the trigger kicked in on just about anything that resembles the true names in my @string_list.

For example, I have a name called "Smile" in my string_list, but the trigger fires on "smiley" as well.

Is there anything I can do to avoid this "insensitive nonsense"? :)

Stringlists by themselves are not case-sensitive. When used in a trigger, for example, you must click the Case Sensitive option on under the Options tab. In a function like %ismember(), however, stringlists are forced into case-sensitivity.
