Weird #PICK behavior
|
I have a button that build's the follow variable to pass to pick:
| Code: |
| p:Select a target:|o:1|"( 8220) Diamond :target Diamond "|"( 36) Cruiser m33 (Earth Sphere Coalition) :target Cruiser m33 (Earth Sphere Coalition) "|"( 9832) Gold :target Gold "|"( 27542) Jupiter :target Jupiter "|"( 36) Corvette m35 (Earth Sphere Coalition) :target Corvette m35 (Earth Sphere Coalition) "|"( 11262) Venus :target Venus "|"( 9) Mars :target Mars "|"( 6049) Gal-Mart :target Gal-Mart "|"( 36) Patrol Starfighter m52 (Earth Sphere Coalition) :target Patrol Starfighter m52 (Earth Sphere Coalition) "|"( 2860) Sol :target Sol "|"( 36) Corvette m48 (Earth Sphere Coalition) :target Corvette m48 (Earth Sphere Coalition) "|"( 13541) Luna :target Luna " |
Basically, what the problem i'm having is with these entries,
| Code: |
| "( 36) Cruiser m33 (Earth Sphere Coalition) :target Cruiser m33 (Earth Sphere Coalition)" |
What it does is it evaluates everything in the parenthesis for the command, so I get,
| Code: |
| target Cruiser m33 EarthSphereCoalition |
when I want,
| Code: |
| target Cruiser m33 (Earth Sphere Coalition) |
I'm not sure how to get around this.
This is the code i'm using,
| Code: |
$targets = %dbitems(@targets);
$menuitems = "p:Select a target:|o:1";
$i = 1;
#LOOP %eval(%numitems($targets)/2) {
$menuitem = %format("(&6.0d) &s", %item($targets, %eval($i + 1)), %item($targets, $i));
$val = "target " %item($targets, $i);
$val = $menuitem ":" $val;
#ADDITEM $menuitems $val;
$i = $i + 2;
}
#PRINT $menuitems;
#PICK $menuitems; |
The variable $targets is a database variable with the ship names as keys and the distance as values. |

$val = $menuitem ":" %replace(%replace($val,"(","~("),")","~)");
#ADDITEM $menuitems $val;
$i = $i + 2;
}
#PRINT $menuitems;
#PICK $menuitems; |
This might work... no gaaruntees tho, untested. |

That's an idea, because I tried %quote() and i'm guessing that didn't work because it probably doesn't quote parenthesis.
I'll let you know. |

You'll havta find the exact spot its stripping out the parenthesis and do the replace then... Where I have it might be too late in the script...
