Hi,

Can you try backing up your project and updating to the latest version of the Dialogue System?

[Strook]

Will do that!

Hello! I updated and the issue persists...but it might be because im doing something wrong, maybe you can help me!

The quest UI is custom, and I fetch the quest text (description, entries, etc) manually, could it be that when I do it this way :

Code: Select all

MyTextMeshProObject.text = QuestLog.GetQuestDescription(questName);

i only get the "raw" string ?


Thanks!

Hi,

Code: Select all

MyTextMeshProObject.text = FormattedText.ParseCode(QuestLog.GetQuestDescription(questName));

Exactly what i needed, thanks a lot!

I have another question

I managed to get the variable properly, but if my line is something like

Code: Select all

Hello, [em3]my variable is [var=test][/em3]

FormattedText.ParseCode return "Hello, [em3]my variable is XXX[/em3]"

What I would like, would be the result string to be something like "Hello, <color=#ffc000e9>my variable is XXX</color>"
(Basically, what a standard subtitle would be doing, so Textmeshpro can apply the emphasis settings)

How would you get the variable, and the emphasis ?

Hi,

Use FormattedText.Parse():

Code: Select all

MyTextMeshProObject.text = FormattedText.Parse(QuestLog.GetQuestDescription(questName)).text;

oh i feel dumb, I tried FormattedText.Parse, but was not sure what to do with it after...

Thanks a lot!
