Why this code cannot change story name?

Newbie — Tue, 17 Sep 2024 10:50:41 GMT

With this snapshot of code:

API_StoryCmdType storyCmd; storyCmd.action = APIStory_Rename; storyCmd.index = storyInfo.lastStory; storyCmd.uName[storyInfo.lastStory] = GS::uchar_t("TAS"); GSErrCode err = ACAPI_Environment(APIEnv_ChangeStorySettingsID, &storyCmd);

I wonder why it did not change the story name without any error.

Please advise.

Not sure what is your intention with this line:

storyCmd.uName[storyInfo.lastStory] = GS::uchar_t("TAS");

This code modifies one character in the name at the index of lastStory. That character will probably be a "T" since you convert a string to one character. Probably you would like to write something like this:

GS::UniString newName = "TAS"; GS::ucscpy (storyCmd.uName, newName.ToUStr ());
