Simple Lua Concatenation

How can I concatenate a charid into a Lua string? (I'll use a simple example to illustrate my question)

The following Lua script works great to output "NPC says, Osiris_rueda_status"

Code:



function event_say(e)

        if (e.message:findi("hail")) then 

                e.self:Say("" .. e.other:GetName() .."_rueda_status");        

        end

end

How can I get the Lua output to use the charid and not the char name?

The desired output would be, "NPC says, 147_rueda_status" (where 147 is the id from the character_data table)

I can do this with Perl

Code:



sub EVENT_SAY {



if ($text=~/hail/i){

$client->Message($TextColor, " ");

                plugin::Whisper($charid.'_rueda_status');

        }

}

However, for what I want to accomplish I need the desired output to come from a Lua script

Thanks,

Osiris

Code:

e.self:Say("" .. e.other:CharacterID() .."_rueda_status");

You just want character ID?

You can get more lua info here as well. :)

Code:

e.self:Say(tostring(e.other:CharacterID()) .. "_rueda_status")

That should work.

thx for the replies - I am now getting the desired output
