Say I have a mod that checks to see if you have enough items for a recipe in your inventory, and want to report
"{You-are-missing} X (localized-string)" to the player....
or like this....
player.print( (ingred.amount*n).."x ".. ingred.name );

Thanks. It's important that the first item in the list be a string, and not a localization sub-string...
Code: Select all
-- levels is recursive levels of a routine for instance....
local leader = { "" };
for i = 1,levels do
leader[#leader+1] = "--+";
end
leader[#leader+1] = {"item-name."..item}, {"times_x"},
player.print( { "", leader, {"item-name."..item}, {"times_x"}, " and ", } );
*shrug* something like that... can actually have lots of levels of nested concatenations.

If wherever you are using it supports line breaks, "\n"

player.print didn't ... it just left it as one long line; I ended up just doing multiple prints and building a array of lines instead of one line with linebreaks.
