A function added by the New Vegas Script Extender.
Description
Added by NVSE V4. Attempts to convert an expression to a string. For numeric expressions, the result is a string representation of the numeric value. For objects, it is the name of the object if available; otherwise it is the formID expressed in hexadecimal notation.
For string variables, conversion is only necessary for vanilla and old NVSE functions (eg: It is needed for PrintToConsole, but not for Print)
You can also use the shorthand alias '$'.
Syntax
(string) ToString ToConvert:exp
Alias
(string) $ToConvert:exp
Example
string_var my_string int iValue let my_string := $SunnyREF my_string == "Sunny Smiles" ; thats the name of the reference let iValue := 13 let my_string := $iValue + " and " + $VCG01 ; an int and a quest my_string == "13 and Ain't That a Kick in the Head"
You only need to use it with string variables for vanilla and old NVSE functions:
string_var my_string let my_string := "whatever" MessageEx $my_string
