Description
- Description:
- Converts any value into a string by placing " and " around the argument. When used on object, object debug name is returned.
Since Arma 3 v1.64 this command will correctly escape all " inside a string:// Before the fix: hint str "string "" string"; // "string " string" <- invalid string call compile str "string "" string"; // ERROR// After the fix: hint str "string "" string"; // "string "" string" <- valid string call compile str "string "" string"; // OK - Groups:
- Strings
Syntax
Examples
- Example 1:
_s = str (2 + 3);// The value of _s is the string "5"- Example 2:
a = []; ac = 0; while {ac < 5} do { ac = count a; a set [ac, format ["Index %1", ac]]; }; hintSilent str a;// Hints all of ["Index 0","Index 1","Index 2","Index 3","Index 4"] including brackets, quotes and commas

- When applied to a unit, this returns the variable name that was assigned to the unit in the editor. For example, if you have created a playable unit with the name 'thePlayer' then you can use 'str player' to return "thePlayer";
