Summary0000214: WriteConsole doesn't write an integer unless there is a written string near it.
DescriptionI'm going to explain this very shortly.

This line below, doesn't write anything to console.

WriteConsole(ID, INTToSTR(D), GOLD);

D is an integer and has a value of 0".
GOLD is a constant and defined as "$FFD700".

When I change the line as shown below, it works.

WriteConsole(ID, INTToSTR(D)+'asd', GOLD);

This one works but I, of course didn't want that "asd" so I tried the line below.

WriteConsole(ID, INTToSTR(D)+'', GOLD);

This doesn't work too. Then, I put a space there as you can see below.

WriteConsole(ID, INTToSTR(D)+' ', GOLD);

This works.

I think it's all clear.
Steps To ReproduceLoad the script I added here. It won't write anything. But if you do the changes I mentioned, it will. You know what to do of course, just filling the form.

Soldat only prints text which has at least 2 chars.
Meaning text that has less then 2 chars will not get printed with WriteConsole.

I'm not sure why this restriction is there.
Maybe some of the scripters knows when and why it was added.

Do we need support for printing empty lines?
Or would 1 char limitation be ok?

It occured after 1.6.0 or maybe 1.6.1 or 1.6.2, I don't know which one but I can say that there was absolutely no such restriction on 1.5.

Well, 1 charecter limitation would be enough for me, I haven't needed to print an empty line so far. But it's clearly not my decision, that's why I left your last questions unanswered in my first message.

I wonder why such restriction was brought.
