The Get2DAString() NWScript command retrieves information from the specified .2da file. The information is retrieved from a single cell (column within a row) as a string, which can then be used directly or converted to a number using either StringToInt() or StringToFloat(). This is the usual method for incorporating new .2da files into the game.
