Hello.
I'm trying to put my Dialogue Manager variables on the UI screen with Textmeshpro.
But everything I do never works
Would appreciate any feedback on how to get this to work. Thanks.

Hi,
Try:
Code: Select all
CoinText.text = FormattedText.ParseCode("[var=Coin]");

I posted that line in (void Update()). And it worked great.
Thank you very much. You saved me a ton of headache.

Glad to help!
Tip: If you want to optimize, instead of using Update() monitor the variable for changes:
Monitor Variable Value Changes

Thanks, your the best.
Also, is it possible to do (If Statements) with the lua variables in C# Script?

Hi,
Yes. In C#:
Code: Select all
if (DialogueLua.GetVariable("Coin").asInt > 50)
{
CommentText.text = "Wow, you're rich!";
}
In Lua Conditions:
- Conditions: Variable["Coin"] < 50
- Dialogue Text: "Sorry, you don't have enough coin to purchase that."
You can also use it conditionally in-line in text using [lua(
code)] and the Conditional function. If you need to do that, let me know and I'll add an example.

I keep getting an error when I type that line of code in?
Operator '>' cannot be applied to operands of type 'Lua.Result' and 'into.

Also I'll take an example of the in-line conditionals as well.
For future references.

Sorry, I fixed the typo above. I had forgotten to type ".asInt" at the end.
Please see the
Conditional() function for an example of in-line.
