Hi guys!

Since a lot of my crappy MMF2 skills come from not knowing how to handle expressions well, I've come to ask you if there are some good tutorials or examples out there of what is possible with advanced usage of the expression editor.

Like right now. I need about 10 events, just because I don't know how to insert a value of another object into that place where the red 1 is.

Thanks for your help!

I'm not sure if this is what you want but to retrieve an Alterable String from an object by "index" then you can do it like this:

AltStrN$( "Story Man", Value(Conversation E( "Player")))

Tell me if that works. You may have to change it to this:

AltStrN$( "Story Man", Value(Conversation E( "Player"))-1)

because I'm not sure if the first string starts at index 0 or 1.

If one doesn't work, try the other; and if both don't work then I'm on the wrong track.

Ohh.. you can't if I get what you mean. You can try to change numbers in other strings, but you can't do it outside the bracket thingies.

I think what you're basically asking is: How can I retrieve strings based on a value? In which case, Muz is right, you can't do what you are trying to do in MMF. However there are options which work equally as well and achieve the same thing. One way is to use the index of an alterable value as Muz suggested. Another way would be to use an extension such as an array object or similiar which you can store strings in numbered cells.
