Check language from variable

2finger

There is an easy way to assign to a global or local integer variable which language I'm using?

I have some 3d text (text mesh) that I would like to change when player change the language. So, setting the "on variable change" cutscene, I can change them all.

Or some other way to change them "on the fly" when player switch between language cycles.

Tx.

The language number can be determined with:

Options.GetLanguage ();

So to assign this to e.g. a Local integer Variable of ID=2:

LocalVariables.SetIntegerValue (2, Options.GetLanguage ());

Ok, but, I'm ignorance in Unity, so where I have to put this line of code?

I tried to create a new script but it tells me that LocalVariables does not exist in the current context.

Sorry, that should be AC.LocalVariables

Ok, works great, tx!

For help someone other, I create a new C script called CheckLanguage and put this line under the Void Update.

Then I attached the script to the Main Camera so everytime I change the language from the Menu it change on the fly!

Maybe it's not a perfect and correct solution but it works! 

using UnityEngine;

using System.Collections;

public class CheckLanguage : MonoBehaviour {

// Use this for initialization

void Start () {

}

// Update is called once per frame

void Update () {

AC.LocalVariables.SetIntegerValue (41, AC.Options.GetLanguage ());

}

}

Hi, I have to change a scene object based on language. I have created this script and put it in the main camera, but I don't know what I have to do now to be able to detect the language within an action list.

Can someone explain it to me please? I think that this is a very usefull thing.

See the Manual's "Save scripting" chapter. The active language can be read with:

AC.Options.GetLanguage ();

Alternatively, you can use the Custom: Check Language Action.

Thanks! The Custom: Check Language Works fine!

Sorry, I put the CheckLanguage script in the Main Camera and This error appears in the Consoles:

**NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

AC.LocalVariables.SetIntegerValue (System.Int32 _id, System.Int32 _value) (at Assets/AdventureCreator/Scripts/Variables/LocalVariables.cs:281)**

Can this exception affect to the Action List? I put the Check Language Action in an action list and it seems like it works, but i´m not sure because I don´t have more than a language in my project yet.

Using AC v1.71.4

Thanks

The CheckLanguage script above is separate from the ActionCheckLanguage Action script - the error in the first won't affect the second.

The error is that it cannot find the local variable with the given ID number - which is hard-coded to 41 in 2finger's code. You'll need to change this to the ID of the local variable you want to affect.
