Use c# registered functions in quest descriptions

Hi,
I used the following to be able to use a C# function in the conditions and scripts part of the dialogue system
Code: Select all
void OnEnable()
{
Lua.RegisterFunction("ItemInInventory", this, SymbolExtensions.GetMethodInfo(() => ItemInInventory(string.Empty)));
}
void OnDisable()
{
Lua.UnregisterFunction("ItemInInventory");
}
public double ItemInInventory(string itemName)
{
return (double)inventoryController.GetAmountOfItem(itemName);
}
Which works perfectly fine, now I was wondering if and how I can use that function to display the value in my quest descriptions?
Like:
Items collected:
Cheese (ItemInInventory("Cheese") / 1)
I could've sworn that I read somewhere that this is possible but I can't find it anymore or get it to work.
Any help would be appreciated!

Hi,
Use the [lua(
code)]
markup tag.
Code: Select all
Items collected:
Cheese ([lua(ItemInInventory("Cheese"))] / 1)

This doesn't seem to be working for me?

Please use a lowercase "l" (L) in [lua(code)]

Can you make sure that the method is being called right before displaying the information? Or is there a way to force update?

Yes, it's called right before displaying the text. To manually update, call DialogueManager.SendUpdateTracker(). This will update the quest tracker HUD and the quest log window if the quest log window is open.
