Use c# registered functions in quest descriptions

[kimosabe]

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)

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?

[Tony Li]

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.
