Substitute variable values in Say & Choose text about fungus HOT 3 CLOSED

Very nice. Would it be possible to expose the variable system enough to
link up a uGUI text input field?

I think you could almost do this now. You could add an event handler to the input field and have it call the SetStringVariable() method on the Fungus Script. Not sure if you could pass the actual value of the input field without a bit of custom c# code though.

Anyway, that's probably how I'd handle it - have a component handle the input field events and then set the variable via the methods in the FungusScript class.

Relate request from Daniel Nascimento:
So, giving an option for the player to input it's name and saving it to a string variable, and being able to call that name in dialog.

I made a Choice Dialog prefab with an input text, made the option button call OnClick a script that would set the global variable with the current inputtext.text.text and that solved the first part. Then I went into the parser in the dialog and made a new Glyph.Name so whenever I input {name} on a text I show that string from the global variable instead. Lastly I went into the characters part of the dialog, and added an elseif that if the character name is {name} it'll show the string recorded in the global variables.

That's something that could be somehow implemented already, right? XD

The other thing is Stats, which was pretty easy to implement using the global variables and is kind of specific so wouldn't be really useful to have already implemented in the package. I just made a Text in canvas that keeps updating every 0.5f based on the global variables that we defined for stats.
