==Obsolete== | |||
[http://obse.silverlock.org/obse_command_doc.html#StringVariables OBSE] (v16) now includes its own set of string functions, rendering TSFC obsolete. | |||
Also, Speedo has removed his update of TSFC. He fixed a [http://www.bethsoft.com/bgsforums/index.php?s=&showtopic=715123&view=findpost&p=12146677 number of issues], most importantly a CTD bug with StrGet/SetXXXPath and setting up a TSFC<->Pluggy string exchange. As Speedo also removed his source code, it's hard to tell just how much he changed. | |||
Note that these wiki pages refer to Speedo's v0.5.5 and may not be true for Tibixe's v.0.5. | |||
==Details== | |||
One important feature of these functions is that they do not store strings directly in the variables you provide- they store the string in memory, and assign it a reference number. You provide the functions with the reference number, and they draw and use the appropriate string. It means that if you reuse the pointer, the string is basically cut loose and floating around in memory. Use the StrDel function to delete the string associates with the pointer if you plan on reusing the long variable used for the pointer, or if the script is temporary (e.g. scripteffect spells, a script on an object that gets removed or otherwise erased). | One important feature of these functions is that they do not store strings directly in the variables you provide- they store the string in memory, and assign it a reference number.

The type stringID is used in this documentation, however this is not recognized by the CS. I use it in to indicate when a long or short is interpreted as a string's identifier, not its integer value. | The type stringID is used in this documentation, however this is not recognized by the CS.
