Using a variable to get player

[nathanj]

Hey, Tony

I'm trying to get UCC attributes for my player using variables.

I'm able to assign the player's dynamically on start using

Code: Select all

DialogueLua.SetVariable("PlayerName", newPlayer.NickName);

But what I'm stuck on is using that value trying to retrieve the player's attributes, such as

Code: Select all

Variable["Health"] = uccGetAttribute([var=PlayerName], "Health");

I've also tried

Code: Select all

Variable["Health"] = uccGetAttribute("[var=PlayerName]", "Health");

, but that didn't work. You mind pointing out how I can do this?

Thank you,
Nathan

Got it,

Code: Select all

Variable["Health"] = uccGetAttribute(Variable["PlayerName"], "Health");

sorry for the forum noise

Hey again,

You mind checking that the Set Variable is working?

I am using

Code: Select all

uccSetAttribute(Variable["PlayerName"], "Health", 50)

but it's not working.

I am using

Code: Select all

Variable["Health"] = uccGetAttribute(Variable["PlayerName"], "Health");

sucessfully, so I'm a little confused why set it not.

Thanks again.
Nathan

uccSetVariable() checks out.

Is there maybe a typo in your Script? Or is Variable["PlayerName"] not set yet at the point when the Script runs?

Ah,sorry, thanks for checking, it was my bad.

I had the line in the Sequener field, not in the Script field.

Sorry, been too long since I used DS

Thanks again, and apologies for the silly question

No problem! Glad you got it sorted.

Hi guys
It appears that uccSetVariable() function is functioning correctly without any issues.free fire name
