Converting a string into a vector

Been trying to figure this out and I have yet to get it right. =/

Basically I have one script sending a message. Only thing is, it sends it as a string. So I can't take that string and stick it into my vector variable.

I'm assuming I need to convert the string into a vector then stick it into the variable.


Anyone has any ideas on how this is done right?

read this page on the lsl wiki:

you should be able to cast directly between string and vector, something like this.

vector myvector = <0,0,0>;
string mystringvector = (string)myvector; //converted vector to string

... some messaging magic occurs, you recieve a string called message

string myrecieved_string = message; // "<0,0,0>"

vector mynewvector = (vector)myrecieved_string; //converted string to vector

oh wow it worked.. O.o

It was that easy.. -_-

Gonna kick myself now.


I really need to get lessons on scripting in SL.
