visible variables in the UI

[tohaMem]

Hello!

I'm in the process of creating a level up system. It's based on the number of points received in the dialogue.




How can I display this variables in the UI? Something like this, but only in numbers, yes

Hi,

If you want to show a variable's value in dialogue text, use the [var=variable] markup tag. Example:

• Dialogue Text: "Your esoteric status is [var=Status.Esoteric]."

To replace [var=variable] tags in other strings, use FormattedText.ParseCode(). Example:

Code: Select all

MyTextMeshProUGUI.text = FormattedText.ParseCode("[var=Status.Esoteric]");

However, if you only need the numeric value, it's easiest in C# to use DialogueLua.GetVariable(). Example:

Code: Select all

MyTextMeshProUGUI.text = DialogueLua.GetVariable("Status.Esoteric").asString;

oh, thank you! All worked!

And another question! How can I extract variables from DS and add/subtract them in C#?

Hi,

Use DialogueLua.GetVariable() and DialogueLua.SetVariable(). Example:

Code: Select all

// Add +1 to Esoteric:
DialogueLua.SetVariable(DialogueLua.GetVariable("Status.Esoteric").asInt + 1);

Alternatively, you can make a property:

Code: Select all

public int Esoteric
{
    get { return DialogueLua.GetVariable("Status.Esoteric").asInt; }
    set { DialogueLua.SetVariable("Status.Esoteric", value); }
}
