Thanks for the fast reply, but my understanding of syntaxes is still at newbie level so I need further help how to insert it.


Quote:

<script>

conversions = {
[GetVariable ("char1")] = GetVariable ("char1").."-[1]",
[GetVariable ("char2")] = GetVariable ("char2").."-[2]"
}
function OnPluginPacketReceived (s)
return (string.gsub (s, "%a+", conversions))
end -- function OnPluginPacketReceived
</script>


this above gives error parsing line and doesn't load the plugin.

Where are these variables? In the main world file? If so you need to change it to pull in the main variables like this:


conversions = {
[GetPluginVariable ("", "char1")] = GetPluginVariable ("", "char1").."-[1]",
[GetPluginVariable ("", "char2")] = GetPluginVariable ("", "char2").."-[2]"
}


The GetPluginVariable call, using plugin "", means get char1 and char2 contents from the "main world" not the current plugin.

These variables will need to exist before you load the plugin.
