GetString

Prototype: GemRB.GetString (Strref[, Flags])

Description: Returns string for given strref. Usually, you don’t need to resolve a string before use, as you can use SetText with a strref parameter. This command lets you alter the string. For example, if you want to add a level value without a token, you’ll need this.

Parameters:

• Strref - a string reference from the dialog.tlk table
• Flags - a bitfield:
  • 1 - display strrefs on
  • 2 - play attached sound
  • 4 - speech (stop previous sound)
  • 256 - strref off (overrides cfg)

Return value: A string with resolved tokens.

Examples:

 Level = GemRB.GetPlayerStat (pc, IE_LEVEL) # 1 at character generation
 Label.SetText (GemRB.GetString(12137) + str(Level)) 

The above example will display ‘Level: 1’ in the addressed label.
