Change character description

[sergeil]

It would be great to have the way to change character description.
In fact, now it can be done only by deleting and creating character again.

Very often people do not change the description by mistake.

This is actually something that could be done pretty easily via the OnPlayerChat event.
An example:

Code: Select all

else if (GetStringLeft(sSaid, 5) == "/bio ")
        {
            string sRemove = StringParse(sSaid, " ");
            string sBio = StringRemoveParsed(sSaid, sRemove, " ");
            SendMessageToPC(oSpeaker, "You have reset your current bio.");
            SetDescription(oSpeaker, sBio);
            //ExportSingleCharacter(oSpeaker);
        }

In this case you would just type "/bio "(with the space) followed by whatever you want your bio to be. Something like: "/bio You hail from the far off lands of Hufflepuff and have decided to set off in search of a better house."

I don't mean so radical. IMHO, changing gender of character is too much. I propose just changing of it's description. Name of function is like SetDescription(object, string, int). I can see it in my test location to be sure, because I already tried it.

PS: Maybe, it would be good to have item to activate this functionality or dummy in some placy like dummy to change appearance of weapon or armor.

What I posted above doesn't change gender. That's "bio" as in "biography" AKA player description.

Code: Select all

if (GetStringLeft(sSaid, 5) == "/bio ")
{
...
}

I was not able to find function how to read text string from talk window. As I understand, it is part of conversation.
Can you post small example? How you receive text to sSaid variable?

I went and added a function like this. Type /bio=Enter your text here.

Thank you very much

[sergeil]

it could be great if it can be realized /bio+, means, append string from new line

As example

/bio=-The Family Clan-
/bio+Good girl from great family

----------------------------------------
-The Family Clan-
Good girl from great family
----------------------------------------

In case of
/bio+
means new line to append


/bio=-The Family Clan-
/bio+
/bio+Good girl from great family

----------------------------------
-The Family Clan-

Good girl from great family
----------------------------------
