Have a variable appear in a localization key

Noobasaurus · Post by **Noobasaurus** » Thu Jul 10, 2014 11:18 am

I have a variable that I want to appear in a string as a message to a player. I know that I can have variables in print messages, but I need one that appears to the player. Is there any way to do this?

I'm not sure if I understand well what you want, but I know that the script for the Felucia campaign, has a sort of variable localization string stuff. Maybe it would help you:

Hidden/Spoiler:

[code]		--Setup callback to show update messages when turrets are killed

		turret_count = 5

		TurretKill = OnObjectKillClass( 

			function(object, killer)

				if killer and IsCharacterHuman(killer) then

					turret_count = turret_count - 1 

					if turret_count > 0 then						

						ShowMessageText("level.fel1.objectives.campaign.5a-" .. turret_count, 1)				 

					end					

				end

			end,

			"tur_bldg_recoilless_fel_auto"

			) 

	end[/code]

If you mean basically using anything *but* localization key with ShowMessageText, I'm almost positive you can't do that.

@GAB: Thanks. That's really close to what I want, but that sets it to a certain localization key. I want to modify the localization string with a variable.

@Marth: So I'll have to use a localization key then, but I need it to load a variable.
