Code Convert to String?

[Acreo Aeneas]

So I'm having a problem with some conversion to String...

My SASPerk has this function near the bottom:

static function string GetCustomLevelInfo (byte Level)
{
	local string S;
	S = Default.CustomLevelInfo;
	
	// %L = Current "Bonus" Level
	ReplaceText (S, "%L", string (GetClientVeteranSkillLevel (KFPRI)));

...

When I try to compile it I get this error:

Error, 'String' conversion: Bad or missing expression

I had thought typecasting would work. I thought it was a perhaps a syntax issue in placement of the cast, so I put (string) after the thing I wanted to cast. Same error.

I'm fairly sure GetClientVeteranSkillLevel (KFPRI) returns a integer and according to the Legacy Wiki, int to string is supported, but it gives no sample code on usage (aka useless as documentation).

What am I doing wrong here?

Typecasting does work. Just ucc sometimes outputs wrong errors. In your case KFPRI is not defined. That's why GetClientVeteranSkillLevel() have wrong argument, so it can't be typecasted to string.

Hmm, KFPRI is defined as a passing argument in other functions.

Trying to declare KFPRI isn't working within the function (just tried it).

How can I get the current perk level for the player then in that function?
- keep in mind, I'm extending SRVeterancyTypes (not ScrnVeterancyTypes).

why dont you just take string(KFPRI.ClientVeteranSkillLevel)

KFPRI is undeclared in that function. I can't seem to declare KFPRI as KFPlayerReplicationInfo at the beginning of that function, because then UCC throws another error saying "unexpected KFPlayerReplicationInfo". Therefore I can't use KFPRI to call ClientVeteranSkillLevel.

So in the end, I'm back to me wanting to get a Player's veteran level so I can use that number for a bunch of if conditionals in the function.

You have Level as an argument in this function.

ReplaceText (S, "%L", string (Level));

*smacks head* Doh!

Here's something I don't see and thus don't understand.

How is GetCustomLevelInfo () called? I can see that my stats display further down in "defaultproperties" somehow calls this function and passes it my current Perk level. How is that happening?

I apologize if I seem rather noobish at this, but usually in the languages I work (Java, C++, etc) with I can usually find when a function is called so I can trace around various files. I just know that the function is called and thus the functions statements are executed, I just don't know from where and how.

GetCustomLevelInfo() is called from SRVeterancyTypes.GetVetInfoText().
