female and [object] description

[vghetto]

Hi,

I have a pickupable object that needs to show a different string depending the unit's gender. Is there a way of doing that without having to define the same object twice with 2 descriptions inside an [if] unit.gender?

Code: Select all

        [object]
            name= _ "Poison"
            image=items/potion-poison.png
            duration=scenario
            description= _ "$unit.name pricked her finger on a rusty nail."
            [effect]
                apply_to=hitpoints
                increase=-10%
            [/effect]
            [effect]
                apply_to=status
                add=poisoned
            [/effect]
        [/object]

Maybe before that [object] you can store the correct pronoun in a variable, then use $pronoun instead of "her" in the message.

Yes thank you, I was hoping to avoid the extra [IF], but there might not be a way around that. I guess [object] could be a good candidate for a new female_description field?

Thank you so much for that. I didn't know I could use message inside of object, it helped a lot.

No, that won't work for localization. You would need to store the entire correct string, not just the pronoun.
