Set enum from string - Mike Garber - 09.01.2011

Well what I'd like to do is set an enum value from a string;

Example
But It gives me;

error 006: must be assigned to an array
Assigned to an array? What does that mean?

(Never worked with It before)

You have to use format directlyon tge enum

Format(CarSystem[i][some],64,"%s",cheese);

Use strcat(), it's a much more efficient method in comparison to format() for copying strings.

Thank you, but It's only going to be done upon starting the server.

strmid also does the same : ))

Remember it for the future, personally I'd change the code, mainly because it's just one single line that makes a moderate difference.

strmid is used to extract characters from a string, not to just copy single strings.
