Hi! I'm currently working on loading maps for my map editor and the way i export the map is to go through each object and export the object number, file, position, and rotation in this format:

so that it can be copied and pasted directly into VC++. But I'm a bit stumped on how to load this. I know in Game Maker there is a perform string function, and what i'm looking for is something like that, but i can't find it. For now i'll settle with saving a text file as shown above and another one with only values. Thanks!

Are you asking if it's possible to execute the functions in a string? If so then yes, but it would take a lot of parsing and wouldn't really be worth it. You're better off just exporting the position, angle, and file name, then reading that info in and setting it up in your game.

No you can't execute actions into C++ code (no eval() in c++) due to it being a compiled language. If you split the function into its parts and check them from a known list of commands, yes then it is possible.

Ok so it's possible but hard and annoying (i hate strings...). I'll just do it the simple way. Thanks!
