Hi,

I'm trying to get the string value I set in the script field of an item, through the playmaker action, but I don't get anything.
The syntaxis I'm using in the script field of the dialogue is: Item["test"].Name = "Text Test"
In the playmaker action, Get Lua Field:
Table:Item_Table
Element:test
Field:Name
StoreStringResult: I created a string variable here.
And every frame is checked.

when I try with the bool, and the syntaxis: Item["test"].Is_Collected = true then it works.

What am I missing?

Is there perhaps an errant blank space in the Element or Field? I just tested these actions, and they work:

I'll take a look as soon as I get home. Last time I worked with Lua was nearly 10 years ago and I already forgot the expressions. Which brings me to a question: I couldn't see the expression "Is_Collected" in the manual. Where can I see the expressions supported by Dialogue System?

Thanks!

Hi,

With PlayMaker, there's no real need to think about Lua. Just think of them as data tables. So the Item table is like a spreadsheet with a row for each item (Banana, test, etc.), and a column for each field in the item (Name, Is Collected, etc.).

"Is Collected" is a custom field I added for that example screenshot. It's not a built-in field.

Not sure what was the problem but I redid the script and now is working.

Probably a typo somewhere. Glad it's working now.
