String literal concatenation

[Miloch]

I have a bunch of items with similar statistics. Rather than type them or copy and paste several times in a TRA file, thus increasing the mod size and work for potential translators, I just want to append one TRA entry to another for an item description. But the concatenation operator ^ doesn't seem to work, whether I try SAY DESC (@5 ^ @6) or OUTER_SPRINT %dsc% (~@5~ ^ ~@6~) SAY_EVALUATED DESC %dsc% or any variations like that. Any way to get this to work?

You'd need to use string variables rather than .tra entries. These can be language dependant (put together an

OUTER_SPRINT ~var1~ ~string~
ACTION_IF (~%LANGUAGE%~ STRING_EQUAL_CASE ~%german%~) THEN BEGIN
 OUTER_SPRINT ~var1~ ~Text~
END

 

then

SAY_EVALUATED "offset" ~%var1%%var2%~
