Scenes["example"]:getTextStr(VSceneName)Scenes["example"]:getTextStr( VSceneName, Languages["English"]):getId().id )Ah yeah, sorry. I used an online translator to translate your text. I guess something got lost in the translation.no, you were right, AFRLme. He wanted to set a language depending text. But his last post was regarding getting it.Scenes["example"]:getTextStr(VSceneName)
Will return the name of the scene based on the currently active language. You can also return the name of a specified language too, but it requires the id rather than the language name. Like so...Scenes["example"]:getTextStr( VSceneName, Languages["English"]):getId().id )
ObjName(game.UsedItem)function ObjName(obj) local table = obj:getId().tableId if table == eObjects then return obj:getTextStr(VObjectName) elseif table == eCharacters then return obj:getTextStr(VCharacterName) elseif table == eButtons then return obj:getTextStr(VButtonName) end end
mostly historical reasons and the slow process of transition to the new naming system they introduced in V5.ObjName(game.UsedItem)function ObjName(obj) local table = obj:getId().tableId if table == eObjects then return obj:getTextStr(VObjectName) elseif table == eCharacters then return obj:getTextStr(VCharacterName) elseif table == eButtons then return obj:getTextStr(VButtonName) end end
Ok, makes it a little bit easier. Now tell me:
Why do I have to call the same function on different objects with different arbitrary constants to get the same result (current language ingame name)?
Why not have getGuiName() that every object understands?
At least, shouldnt it be the job of the object to know where to find its name?
Now I just need to know:There is a whole hook function which gets triggered when the action text changes it returns the new actiontext..
how do I change the action text?
