[SOLVED] Character speech and strings...

[thezotikrus]

Wasted some time by myself, but didn't find the solution. I need your help.

Idea: Using player name in character speech.

This is what I got

local describe = "XXX"

AddPlayerPostInit(function(inst)
	if not GLOBAL.TheWorld.ismastersim then
		return
	end	
    inst:DoTaskInTime(0.1, function(inst)--no idea
		print(inst:GetDisplayName())
		describe = inst:GetDisplayName()
		print(describe)
--		inst.components.talker:Say("~~~")
    end)
end)

STRINGS.CHARACTERS.BILLY.DESCRIBE.MULTIPLAYER_PORTAL = "This is portal,  "..describe

Not really sure if its ok to get player's name this way. At least this part works fine. For some reason var describe doesn't set new value to speech string (but it surely gets it, I tested it with print).So instead "This is portal, playername", Im getting "This is portal, XXX"

Why not simply put

STRINGS.CHARACTERS.BILLY.DESCRIBE.MULTIPLAYER_PORTAL = "This is portal,  "..describe

into the DoTaskInTime call?

Yay! That is how it looks like if someone need it:

GLOBAL.MOD_BILLY = {}
GLOBAL.MOD_BILLY.PLAYERNAME = ""

AddPlayerPostInit(function(inst)
	if not GLOBAL.TheWorld.ismastersim then
		return
	end

    inst:DoTaskInTime(0.1, function(inst)
		GLOBAL.MOD_BILLY.PLAYERNAME = inst:GetDisplayName()
		STRINGS.CHARACTERS.BILLY.DESCRIBE.MULTIPLAYER_PORTAL = "This is portal, "..GLOBAL.MOD_BILLY.PLAYERNAME

    end)
end)
