Using a variable in Input

[+Repmul]

Using Earwigo, is there a way to use a variable within the Input text?

 

I am trying to use an Input to ask the player a question. I have tried a

couple different variation, but both wind up displaying the text, not the

value of the variable.

 

Is your name: ~~Player.Name~~

 

I have also set var_Name = Player.Name, then change the Input text to:

Is your name: ~~var_Name~~

 

Ranger Fox, was informed that the following statement will work in Groundspeak's builder:

Is your name ]] .. Player.Name .. [[?

 

Does anyone know of a statement that will work with Earwigo?

Using Earwigo, is there a way to use a variable within the Input text?

 

I fear Inputs will not display changing variables.

 

Workaround 1:

------------

 

I assume that only yes and no will be valid answers

 

Create a Message "DisplayPlayerName" that has the following inside the Text box:

Are you ~~Player.Name~~

Change Button 1 text to "Yes"

Change Button 2 text to "No"

 

Create the extremely useful expression

Button1Clicked

Button was clicked Button 1

Use If Then Else to evaluate the answer.

 

Workaround2 (Yes/No not possible):

---------------------------------

 

Create a Message "WeNeedAge" that has the following inside the Text box:

Hello ~~Player.Name~~, we need your age.

 

Display the Message "WeNeedAge"

	Display dialog or message Message:WeNeedAge

 

Now use the Message Event to trigger the Input

	Get input from player PlayerInput

 

The input can now have the required question e.g. "What is your age?"
