how to convert a string to a ushort
I have researched all of the questions that match my query and tried their solutions however none appear to work for me so I am asking how I convert a string to a ushort I have this set up all ready
public static string vid
{
get { return "<vehicleid>"; }
}
I've tried to use this : short[] result = vid.Select(c => (ushort)c).ToArray();
but when I go to put the vid ushort into this bit
[RocketCommand("vehicle", "This command spawns you a vehicle!", "<vehicleid>", AllowedCaller.Player)]
public void ExecuteCommandVehicle(IRocketPlayer caller, string[] command)
{
UnturnedPlayer spawner = (UnturnedPlayer)caller;
spawner.GiveVehicle(vid);
}
I get the following error :
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State Error CS1503 Argument 1: cannot convert from 'string' to 'ushort' arena v by FridgeBlaster C:\Users\Jonathan\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Projects\arena v by FridgeBlaster\arena v by FridgeBlaster\vehicle.cs 71 Active
Answer
What you're looking for is ushort.TryParse or ushort.Parse methods.
I would suggest using this piece of code :
ushort[] result = vid.Where(i => ushort.TryParse(i, out short s)).Select(ushort.Parse);
Or if you do not use latest C# version :
ushort[] result = vid.Where(i => { ushort r = 0; return ushort.TryParse(i, out r); }).Select(ushort.Parse);
Okay so the problem ( as what your error says ) is that your GiveVehicle method accepts ushort as an argument and you're putting string type in it. Try doing something like this :
ushort val = 0;
if(ushort.TryParse(vid, out val))
{
UnturnedPlayer spawner = (UnturnedPlayer)caller;
spawner.GiveVehicle(val);
}
Based on this source which is responsible for calling method marked with RocketCommand attribute. Your <"vehicleid"> is/should be stored in a command array on first place. So to get this out and convert use something like this :
if(command.Length > 0)
{
ushort val = 0;
if(!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(command[0]) && ushort.TryParse(command[0], out val))
{
UnturnedPlayer spawner = (UnturnedPlayer)caller;
spawner.GiveVehicle(val);
}
}
