SetUIStringAlt
From GECK
A function added by the New Vegas Script Extender version 6.0.8.
Contents
Description
Sets the value of a string UI trait to a Formatted String.
The trait name is of the format "MenuName/ElementName/ElementName/.../TraitName" as defined in the XML hierarchy for the desired menu, i.e. "MessageMenu/NoGlow_Branch/MM_Title/x".
Returns 1 (true) on successful change, 0 (false) otherwise.
- Prior to xNVSE 6.2.5, this function did not return anything.
Supersedes SetUIString and SetUIStringEx, which are bugged for templated children tiles.
Syntax
(success:bool) SetUIStringAlt TraitName:string NewValue:string Formatting
Notes
- The path argument has two extra capabilities. A path segment of "*" matches any child tile, and a path segment suffix of ":N" matches the N'th child tile. This is useful when accessing list box items, where the tile names are either identical, or unpredictable, or both.
- Do not use this command with MCM since it depends on bugged behaviour. Instead use SetUIStringEx.
