Can you set a variable as a non-numeric value?

What I would like to do is set a variable as a string and not a number. For example

/varset v10 "Bat Wing"
/varset v11 "Frosting"
/varset v12 "Sauces"
/varset v13 "Fresh Fish"

Then, doing a skill check with

Code: Select all

/varset v80 $char(skill,Baking)
/if n $v80<40 {/varset v30 $v10 /varset v31 $v11}
/if n $v80<56 {/varset v30 $v12 /varset v31 $v13}

Once I have all of the variables defined, I want to be able to use them in a combine macro that will select the correct ingredient depending on my skill.

Code: Select all

/finditem $v30
/if $find()==FALSE /return
/click left pack $v80 0

/finditem $v31
/if $find()==FALSE /return
/click left pack $v80 1
etc...

The idea here being that v30 and v31 will be the correct ingredient at a certain skill level. In the above example, under a skill of 40 will combine a bat wing and frosting, but over that and under 56, it will combine a fish and the sauce (providing they are in my inventory).

I am not too sure of the syntax that should be used to do it. Is that possible? Or am I barking up the wrong tree...? I can't test it for myself at the moment as I am at work for the next 12 hours or so.

Cheers,

I am glad you like it, but can anyone tell me if the syntax is correct? I am having some problems with the macro I have actually written and not too sure if my use of variables is correct or not...

Not tested this in game but it look slike you need the add quotes around your string variables like so.

Code: Select all

 

/varset v80 $char(skill,Baking) 
/if n $v80<40 {/varset v30 "$v10" /varset v31 "$v11"} 
/if n $v80<56 {/varset v30 "$v12" /varset v31 "$v13"} 
 

/finditem "$v30" 
/if $find()==FALSE /return 
/click left pack $v80 0 

/finditem "$v31" 
/if $find()==FALSE /return 
/click left pack $v80 1 
etc...

However you night want to look at arrays to do this. Ill post an example later if i can.

Thanks for the tip Fippy - I kinda hit the wall with this one. I haven't been able to test with the quotes as yet.

An example of an array would be interesting to see as well - I am eager to see any ways which this could be accomplished.
