Yarn's Dialogue Tree question

How do I...?
1

Hello. Does anybody know if there is a way to insert dialogue lines when a global variable has a certain value? Thanks.

Since you cannot return yarn variables you have two options:

You can switch the text from yarn to scenestrings

Or

You can make several yarn trees and use the global variable as condition to start from the desired yarn tree

3

When you say “scenestrings” do you mean “Scene variables”?

yes.

i use a variable “othertext” that i use as a condition, if i use yarn dialogue or different text, usually related to variables, since its not possible to show variables inside yearn.

Could I just make sure I understand:

There’s no syntax that I can use in a Yarn file which GDevelop can read and replace with a GDevelop variable?

For example, in Yarn:

<<if %HasKey == 1>>

and when GDevelop reached that node in the dialogue file, it would replace %HasKey with its own global variable HasKey?

Such a feature would be terrific, having to update Yarn variables with Set Dialogue State Variable to stay in sync with GDevelop ones is a source of bugs.

Thanks for your work on dialogue trees, it’s very good.

You can set yarn variables as you like, no problem.
But you cannot display them.
