Hi All,
I'm trying to generate text for dialogue in a script that includes NPC names stores as variables, but when I set a message to a text variable that includes a variable reference, the program just prints the variable reference name, rather than the content.
So for example:
I want this = "Hi, my name is Joe. I like games."
Variable 1 = "Joe"
Variable 2 = "Hi, my name is \v[1]. I like games."
However, when I place the variable 2 in the game message, I get "Hi, my name is \v[1]. I like games." Without the contents of varaible 1.
I've worked around this by splitting the dialogue into multiple variables (eg v1 = "Joe" v2 = "Hi, my name is" and v3 "I like games."), but it makes my script generated dialogue a lot more difficult. Also this same problem has come up multiple times, so I was curious if anyone could help.
Question 1: Can anyone explain how the game decides when to read for variables and icon codes and when it just reads it as text?
Question 2: Has anyone else encountered this problem and found a good solution?
Thank you community for your help!

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
