What is TextID in TypTranslate?

[RPC]

From the funclist:

Code: Select all

(typTranslate unid textID [default])

Just wanted to know.

It selects a particular element in the <Language> section of a type:

Code: Select all

<MissionType ...
   <Language>
      <Text id="ComeBackLater">
         "I've got no " (random '("bananas" "oranges" "peppers")) " for you today, %name%, come back later"
      </Text>
   </Language>
</MissionType>

...
(typTranslate unid 'ComeBackLater) -> "I've got no bananas for you today, George, come back later"

There are two advantages to using typTranslate (and objTranslate):

1. It is polymorphic (in the OO sense)--that is, it allows the specific type or object to decide what text to use.
2. In the future, if all text is in <Language> tags, then it will be easier to create translations of the game.

I like it. I noticed that changes in version 1.2 and hope it will help me in future. Even if it would be translation without special signs.

Ah ok. I got my hopes up and thought it could extract XML if you feed it a UNID >.<
