[Script] Convert to INT

[Vic7im]

Hey guys!

Does anyone know how to convert an item name into an ID (integer)? I've seen in some scripts that certain items are called by a numerical sequence (I guess it's their ID), how can I do that?


I'm using this function but I don't know if it returns the ID.
var int ABC;
ABC =  Hlp_GetInstanceID(itat_item);

I've also tried putting an ID=*numericalsequence* within the item instance, but to no avail.


Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure what you mean. Converting item name (string) or identifier (name for numerical ID)?
As for the first case, I'm fairly sure that it is useless. For the second case, you don't need to do anything - in Daedalus identifiers already point to numerical ID of definition instead of actual instance.

var int ABC;
AbC = itat_item;

Yes, it was a very stupid question. Thanks anyway and sorry!
