Setting up UI buttons to run Lua code
Posted: Wed Jan 22, 2025 9:38 am
Hey Tony, I'm setting up a character creator for a visual novel and have a question regarding building the stat selection.
Variables used are Stat.STR, Stat.DEX (etc for other stats) and Stat.PointsLeft. There are plus and minus buttons to allow the player to change these numbers. The buttons each have a Dialogue System Trigger set to Run Lua Code On Use.
For example, I've set up the minus button on STR to run this Lua code: Variable["Stat.STR"] = Variable["Stat.STR"] - 1, with the condition that Stat.STR is greater than 1.
The buttons work, but nothing is changing in the variables. I'm wondering if there's more you have to do to get the buttons and DS to talk to each other so to speak.
Thanks!
