you are right that GV is my C# script where i store every of my public static variables

I added the line "DialogueLua.SetVariable("GV.stringPlayerName", GV.stringPlayerName);"

at the start of my "public void OnConversationStart (Transform gm)" that is on the Dialogue Manager itself...

and it worked!!! For the actor name... it appears next to the portrait where it should!!!

It still wrote "nil" however in the conversation itself where it is used...
Here is the line from the Dialogue Text :
"*Pushes [var=GV.stringPlayerName] off Stephanie* And STOP! No more for you![pic=3]"
When in game, I got "Push nil
and nothing else...

STILL, its friday evening (unless you are not in north america)... you are going WAY WAY above any normal customer support!
AND thank you so much!

Well thank you again for pointing out a bug! I am indeed on the East Coast, and it's getting a bit late, so I'll have to fix it tomorrow. It's a parsing bug when another tag such as [pic=3] exists later in the text after [var=varName]. If you want to get it working before then, the workaround is to put the [pic=3] tag first, as in:

"[pic=3]*Pushes [var=GV.stringPlayerName] off Stephanie* And STOP! No more for you!"

OMG you are so amazing!!! there is no words strong enough!!

I tested it to invert pic and var... and it worked!!!

That is one HUGE piece done!! Now we just need to finish syncing with the API and we'll be gold!

Here is a screenshot proving that it works!

(and yes I named my test account Captain N)

ALSO, i have been getting spammed with hundreds (if not thousands) of warnings/errors in unity... Granted, since i switched to a beta branch a few months ago there have had dozens of such occurances... so it most likely has nothing to do with you... however, when i double click on each of those 4, it points to the dialogue editor window... SORRY for the massive wall of text!!

Do you recall what the editor was doing when it reported those errors? I'm trying to reproduce them in Unity 2017.1.0b4. Is that similar to the beta version you're using?

Posted: **Sat May 27, 2017 9:34 pm**

I was using b01... im currently updating to b07... every beta version since 6.5 something has been more and more bug free so perhaps that will help

as for what i was doing... it was when i was editing all of my conversations to add the [var=GV...] to replace the *Players* I had left all over

about 38 of them... so I was in the conversation, moving nodes, editing them... not much more

you shouldn't worry about that, unity beta has issues

after updating and opening the project... i get the following :

Every pixel when i move my mouse over the "grey" area, the count goes up by 1 for each frame my mouse move...
