Get String Variables

Get String Variables or String Replacement is a feature built into Narrative Tales that allows you to replace parts of your dialogue.

Setup

To use this feature, modify your dialogue text to have a variable using brackets:

{variable}

For example:

Hey there! My name is {name}. Can you find me 5 {item}?

Now you can override the function GetStringVariables in your dialogue asset to return the value of the variable.

Switch on the dialogue variable and return the value of the variable.

info

Make sure to return a value for default otherwise a missing variable will return nothing.
