To save data inbetween map changes, using KeyValues and saving and loading from file works wonders.

Very weird indeed. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Chandler Sent: Sunday, April 29, 2007 5:10 PM To: hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: [hlcoders] String_t conversions Well atm I use the same method of the concommand give to dynamic spawn items which is: string_t iszItem = AllocPooledString( pszItem ); // Make a copy of the classname DevMsg("SpawnItem: Trying to spawn [%s] \n", STRING(iszItem)); CBaseCombatWeapon *lastItemSpawned=(CBaseCombatWeapon*)CreateEntityByName(STRING(iszItem)); But I have found that in doing so it tends to chop up long strings for example: Before: Attemting to spawn [weapon_cougar_magnum] Middle: SpawnItem: Trying to spawn [weapon_couga%|†] After : Attempted to create unknown entity type weapon_couga%|†! Is there a better way of doing this or fixing this so it works. I searched the net and couldn’t find any thing. Also is any way to save vars between map changes without using cvars?
