Issue with formatting variable "type string expected object"

I have a marker called SabinaStation, and an npc called Sabina. _Sel is defined as "Sabina".

_Sel = _this select 0;
_Marker = format ["%1Station", _Sel];

player setpos [getMarkerPos _Marker select 0, getMarkerPos _Marker select 1, 0];
player setDir (getDir _Sel);

How do I format the _Marker variable to not use the quotes? I tried call compile format as well. Maybe I need to use a cba function?

A guess would be that you're trying to getDir for "Sabina" when you only want Sabina.

So pass "Sabina" as Sabina instead.

I would need to pass 2 parameters for each destination then, one without the quotes and one with.

For the sake of using the least amount of code as possible, I'd like to find a way to format "Sabina" and remove the quotes.

EDIT: See post 5 for solution

That should not be needed.

TAG_testFunc = {
_Sel = _this select 0; 
_Marker = format ["%1Station", _Sel]; 
player setpos [getMarkerPos _Marker select 0, getMarkerPos _Marker select 1, 0]; 
player setDir (getDir _Sel);

}; 

[player] call TAG_testFunc;

Teleported me to the marker without any problems.

Ya, I was putting Sabina in quotes in the array before. Removing them solved the issue. So in essence did the opposite of what I was trying to do initally.
