Abstract

Functions to translate strings into alternate characters for

displaying foreign characters more easily, if a font has replaced unused

characters with accented ones.

Dependencies

AGS 2.71RC4 or later

Functions

  function Digraph.Set(String digraph, char to);

Set up a digraph. One would normally set up a bunch of these in

game_start so that they apply for the whole game. The two characters

specified in the string will be converted to the char value "to" when

the digraph-translation function is used.

String function Digraph.T(String from)

Translates the String passed are returns a modified string. If no

digraphs to translate, will return an identical string. A #define is

also setup to allow abbreviation of this function name to DG

Configuration

To allow more digraphs per accent to be set up, increase the number on the

line #defining MAX_DIGRAPHS below.

Example


  function game_start() {
    Digraph.Set("a'", '$'); // a acute
    Digraph.Set("e'", '!'); // e acute
    Digraph.Set("n~", '@'); // enye
  }
  function room_a() {
    // Room script: after room fadein
    Display(DG("Ole', mi espan~ola, que ta'l?"));
  }
