Hi Chrische,

Variables imported from articy will have names in this format in the dialogue database: group.name

For example, if have a Boolean variable named "DidTheThing" in the group "Globals" in articy, the variable name in the Dialogue System will be "Globals.DidTheThing".

You can read Dialogue System variables in C# using DialogueLua.GetVariable(). Example:

Code: Select all

using PixelCrushers.DialogueSystem; // Add to top of your script.
...
bool didTheThing = DialogueLua.GetVariable("Globals.DidTheThing").asBool;

The variables will also be available in "..." dropdown menus in Dialogue System Trigger components' Run Lua Code action, and also visible in the Dialogue Editor window's Watches section (available at runtime) and Variable Viewer window.
