Hello,
one question about TextTable. How do I get an instance of a TextTable via Code?

In the documentation, it says:

var hello = myTextTable.GetFieldTextForLanguage("Hello", "FR");

But how do I get the myTextTable? Is there a method to search a TextTable by name?
I couldn't find something fitting in the TextTable class documentation.

All the best,
Evelyn

Hi Evelyn,

A good way is to add a variable to your script that you can assign in the Inspector:

Code: Select all

using UnityEngine;
using PixelCrushers.DialogueSystem;
public class TestClass : MonoBehaviour
{
    public TextTable myTextTable; // <-- ASSIGN IN INSPECTOR.
    
    private void Start()
    {
        Debug.Log("Text Table " + myTextTable.name + " has " + myTextTable.GetFieldNames().Length + " fields.");
    }
}

Alternatively, you can put the TextTable in a Resources folder and use Resources.Load to load it at runtime:

Code: Select all

TextTable myTextTable = Resources.Load<TextTable>("Your TextTable Asset Name");
