Examples

This example shows how to get a variable named "my-float" from a VariablesGroupAsset named "global".

var source = LocalizationSettings.StringDatabase.SmartFormatter.GetSourceExtension<PersistentVariablesSource>();

// If a group called "globals" does not exist then add one.
if (!source.TryGetValue("globals", out var globalVariables))
{
    globalVariables = ScriptableObject.CreateInstance<VariablesGroupAsset>();
    source.Add("globals", globalVariables);
}

var floatVariable = new FloatVariable { Value = 1.23f };

// This can be accessed from a Smart String with the following syntax: {globals.my-float}
globalVariables.Add("my-float", floatVariable);
