issue with the "gmnote" tag?

hi guys, I was trying to make a script that will send a message to the players when someone got close to a chest. The contents of the message was supposed to be the contents of the GM notes, but when it reads the GM notes, it wont use non-alphanumeric digits. EG: a space turns into %20, a comma turns into %2C. Is this an error, or am I maybe doing something wrong? Here is what I have for code: on("change:graphic", function(obj){ sendChat("GM Notes", obj.get("gmnotes")) })

The behavior you are encountering is not unusual. This just means that when the gmnotes section is read, it's converting some characters into their HTML/URL codes, as explained here . The reason for this, however, is beyond my initial thoughts. I would try either: 1) using the /direct command in the sendChat to see if that stops the encoding and sends it in a more human readable fashion. 2) if (1) doesn't work, going through and reconverting the text based on the HTML character codes found here after a quick google search. best of luck :)

Ok, thank you bith for your answer! i will wait for the next update and try again.

I read a comma-delimited string from my GM Notes field, and use the following bit of code to 'correct' the commas, should work for spaces as well? obj.get("gmnotes").split("\%2C").join(",")

Alex, I tried a string.replace line, but it only replaced the first occurance of it.

Thanks. I had the same issues with replace, which is why i resorted to split/join. Appreciate the info.
