I am new to programing. And when I try to do this

Code:

PRINT "setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext1" "Stalingrad" "

I keep getting an error. Its absoultly nesseray that the text looks like this

Code:

setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext1" "Stalingrad"

But I dont know how to do it with QBASIC.
Here is my code so far.

Code:

CLS
INPUT "What is your map name"; MapName$
INPUT "What is your name"; YourName$
INPUT "1)Allied Text:", AT1$
INPUT "2)Allied Text:", AT2$
INPUT "3)Allied Text:", AT3$
INPUT "1)German Text:", GT1$
INPUT "1)German Text:", GT2$
INPUT "1)German Text:", GT3$
INPUT "Score Board Pick name:", SBP$
PRINT
PRINT
PRINT ".......Proccesing........"
PRINT
PRINT
PRINT
PRINT
PRINT
PRINT "Copy the SCRIPT below and call it"
PRINT "[YOURMAPNAME.SCR]  You dont need the []"
PRINT
PRINT
PRINT
PRINT
PRINT "//", MapName$
PRINT "//Map by ", YourName$
PRINT "//Scripting by Yarik"
PRINT "Main:"
PRINT
PRINT "// set score board messages"

After the last print this command

Code:

PRINT "setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext1" "Stalingrad" "

Keeps giving me errors. What should I do?

The problem is that QB gets puzzled with the first " in your text, as it understands that the string you want to print has ended.

To print quotes you need to use the CHR$ function which takes an ASCII number and returns the correspondent character. The quote is at 34, so you can use both

Code:

PRINT "setcvar " + CHR$(34) + "g_obj_alliedtext1" + CHR$(34) + " " + CHR$(34) + "Stalingrad" + CHR$(34) + " "

or

Code:

PRINT "setcvar "; CHR$(34); "g_obj_alliedtext1"; CHR$(34); " "; CHR$(34); "Stalingrad"; CHR$(34); " "

Check QB help for PRINT and CHR$ to understand the command syntax.

Check QB help for PRINT and CHR$ to understand the command syntax

Can you zip it up and send it to me? I dont have the help file.

It now says Subscript out of range. And I tried your first option.

.....

Ok at the top of the script they have an option for allied text.

So I want it to print

setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext1" "Stalingrad"

But instead of stalingrad I want the input for the text that they did
So something like this

setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext1" "AT1$"
So what ever they typed in for AT1$ it will give them there name.

You don't enclose variable names in quotes in QBasic. There is no escape handling. This is what you do:

Code:

PRINT "setcvar " + CHR$(34) + "g_obj_alliedtext1" + CHR$(34) + " " + CHR$(34) + "Stalingrad" + CHR$(34) + " " + AT1$

If I am understanding the question right...

if you dont have the help files take a gander at that "qboho" link up top

Subscript out of range? I tried the code before sending it to you, and it just prints this text on screen:

Code:

setcvar "g_obj_alliedtext1" "Stalingrad"

so it just works fine :???:
