If I have a "12572" string
And I want to replace the first 2 with a 9, how would I do that? Replacing a string (using a substring) would just replace both 2's, wouldn't it? So how do I single out that first 2 without modifying the second 2? (I am doing this because I want to use a string like an array via network sync, the string will pass between both players and be updated according to some logic)
I thought of maybe using "build string" out of 3 elements, and doing some int operators to get everything in it's proper place but that seems like such overkill... But I can't find an action that seems to say "go to char count _" or "start at index __"... in order to replace within a string

Hi, Im doing this too for Photon.
It sounds "overkill", but got used to it :)
Get string Left with 1 Char Count,
then substring index 1 (second char),
+ substring start index 2 etc.
save them in different strings as parts and you can change what ever part and build the string back together.
Maybe someone can share a shorter way or a custom action Set Substring?
EDIT:
Ha! its already done, didn't see it before..
Thanks to Jean!

hah nice find 600, thanks again :)
I figured it was funny you could get a string index but not replace!
