UID from Text
Is there any function than can convert UID(...) from text?
I know ther is fromText() function but is only working with hexadecimal format so it's no handy at all, since in properties we can only copy "standard" UID.
In editor you could for example write UID(...,...,...,...) in object params so there should already be function that Esenthel using.

RE: UID from Text
Why not just define the parameter as an ElementID in the editor? Then you can just do:
Code:
if(Param *p = obj.findParam("paramName")) ID = p.asID();

RE: UID from Text
I have my own editor for some data like visual effects, quests, proffesions etc. I need sometimes to pass UID, if I only could copy it from esenthel editor and paste in textline in my editor, a lot of thinks would be easier and faster for me.
I see esenthel editor using function reading UID from normal format, so I suspect, that Esenthel has this function written.

RE: UID from Text
I created my own function for converting UID fom text. I can post it when I get back home but that will be a few days.
Code:
static void StringToUID(Str str, UID& uid)
{
if (!Starts(str, "UID"))
{
uid.zero();
return;
}
Str uidtext = SkipStart(str, "UID(");
uidtext = SkipEnd(uidtext, ")");
Memc<Str> splits = Split(uidtext, ',');
if (splits.elms() != 4)
{
uid.zero();
return;
}
uint a = TextUInt(splits[0]);
uint b = TextUInt(splits[1]);
uint c = TextUInt(splits[2]);
uint d = TextUInt(splits[3]);
uid.set(a, b, c, d);
}
