A command for Pluggy.

Syntax:

(Length:long) StringLen StringID:long NewLength:long Global:short

Returns or sets the string length.

  • If NewLength is not specified, it returns the current length.
  • If NewLength is specified, it sets the size and returns the new size.
    • If you want to modify a string from another mod, you will need to set the Global flag to 1. If Global is 0 or unset the function will fail. If the string is protected the function will fail.
  • If the string does not exist, it returns -1.

Notes[edit | edit source]

  • To effectively clear out a string without destroying and recreating, set the length to 0.
StringLen StringID 0
  • If you expand the size of an existing string, each new character is set to the null character (\0).
