Class PersistentVariablesSource

Can be used to provide global or local values that do not need to be passed in as arguments when formatting a string. The smart string should take the format {groupName.variableName}. e.g {global.player-score}. Note: The group name and variable names must not contain any spaces.

Item[String]

Returns the global variable group that matches name.

Declaration

public VariablesGroupAsset this[string name] { get; set; }

Parameters

Declaration

public ICollection<string> Keys { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
ICollection<String>

Values

Returns the global variable groups for this source.

Declaration

public ICollection<VariablesGroupAsset> Values { get; }

Methods

Add(KeyValuePair<String, VariablesGroupAsset>)

Add a global variable group to the source.

Declaration

public void Add(KeyValuePair<string, VariablesGroupAsset> item)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
KeyValuePair<String, VariablesGroupAsset>	item

Add(String, VariablesGroupAsset)

Add a global variable group to the source.

Declaration

public void Add(string name, VariablesGroupAsset group)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
String	name	The name of the group to add.
VariablesGroupAsset	group	The group to add.

BeginUpdating()

Indicates that multiple IVariable will be changed and LocalizedString should wait for EndUpdate before updating. See EndUpdating() and EndUpdate. Note: BeginUpdating() and EndUpdating() can be nested, EndUpdate will only be called after the last EndUpdate.

Declaration

public static void BeginUpdating()

Clear()

Removes all global variables.

Declaration

public void Clear()

Contains(KeyValuePair<String, VariablesGroupAsset>)

Returns true if a global variable group is found with the same name.

Declaration

public bool Contains(KeyValuePair<string, VariablesGroupAsset> item)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
KeyValuePair<String, VariablesGroupAsset>	item

Returns

Type	Description
Boolean	true if a group with the name is found or false if one is not.

ContainsKey(String)

Returns true if a global variable group is found with the same name.

Declaration

public bool ContainsKey(string name)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
String	name	The name of the global variable group to check for.

Returns

Type	Description
Boolean	true if a group with the name is found or false if one is not.

CopyTo(KeyValuePair<String, VariablesGroupAsset>[], Int32)

Copy all global variable groups into the provided array starting at arrayIndex.

Declaration

public void CopyTo(KeyValuePair<string, VariablesGroupAsset>[] array, int arrayIndex)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
KeyValuePair<String, VariablesGroupAsset>[]	array	The array to copy the global variables into.
Int32	arrayIndex	The index to start copying into.

EndUpdating()

Indicates that updates to IVariable have finished and sends the EndUpdate event. Note: BeginUpdating() and EndUpdating() can be nested, EndUpdate will only be called after the last EndUpdate.

Declaration

public static void EndUpdating()

GetEnumerator()

Returns an enumerator for all the global variables in the source.

Declaration

public IEnumerator GetEnumerator()

Returns

Type	Description
IEnumerator

Remove(KeyValuePair<String, VariablesGroupAsset>)

Removes the group with the matching name.

Declaration

public bool Remove(KeyValuePair<string, VariablesGroupAsset> item)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
KeyValuePair<String, VariablesGroupAsset>	item

Returns

Type	Description
Boolean	true if a group with a matching name was found and removed, or false if one was not.

Remove(String)

Removes the group with the matching name.

Declaration

public bool Remove(string name)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
String	name	The name of the group to remove.

Returns

Type	Description
Boolean	true if a group with a matching name was found and removed, or false if one was not.

TryEvaluateSelector(ISelectorInfo)

Evaluates the ISelectorInfo based on the CurrentValue. If this extension cannot evaluate the Selector, returns False. Otherwise, sets the Result and returns true.

Declaration

public bool TryEvaluateSelector(ISelectorInfo selectorInfo)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
ISelectorInfo	selectorInfo

Returns

Type	Description
Boolean

Implements

ISource.TryEvaluateSelector(ISelectorInfo)

TryGetValue(String, out VariablesGroupAsset)

Returns true if a global variable group could be found with a matching name, or false if one could not.

Declaration

public bool TryGetValue(string name, out VariablesGroupAsset value)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
String	name	The name of the global variable group to find.
VariablesGroupAsset	value	The found global variable group or null if one could not be found with a matching name.

Returns

Type	Description
Boolean	true if a group could be found or false if one could not.

UpdateScope()

Can be used to create a BeginUpdating() and EndUpdating() scope.

Declaration

public static IDisposable UpdateScope()

Returns

Type	Description
IDisposable

Events

EndUpdate

Called after the final EndUpdating() has been called. This can be used when you wish to respond to value change events but wish to do a single update at the end instead of 1 per change. For example, if you wanted to change the value of multiple global variables that a smart string was using then changing each value would result in a new string being generated, by using begin and end the string generation can be deferred until the final change so that only 1 update is performed.

Declaration

public static event Action EndUpdate

Event Type

Type	Description
Action
