Actor name localization

Post by vire7777 »

Hello

Little new problem
In TEMPLATES, i created under ACTOR a new field called "Name hu" and put the type to Localization (for having a name in hungarian for example)
Then in menu, i update, synchronize, apply, whatever...

Sadly, when i go to actor and click on my line, i still can t see the field for the name in hungarian
it works fine for description for example, but not for name.

Any idea ?
Thanks a lot for your time. I tried to look for other thread on this but couldn t really see one

Hi,

I recommend having only Name, not also “Name hu”.

Instead, tick Use Display Name. Set the Display Name field. Then add a field “Display Name hu” and set its type to Localization. You can use the Dialogue Editor’s Templates tab to add the field to all actors.

At runtime, make sure to tell the Dialogue System to use the “hu” language.

Same with the Display Name

I went to TEMPLATES
i added a field "Display Name hu" on localization under Display Name TEXT
Then i make MENU update, apply, sync

Then i go back to ACTOR
i click on one
i tick the box USE DISPLAY NAME
but i can see only one field Display name, not the second one

If you expand All Fields, it will be in there. To make it appear in the main section, on the Templates tab tick the field's Main checkbox.
