Question Can't set Value of Localized String variable in PersistentVariablesSource

Hello everyone,

Might be something very obvious... But I tried to access a Localized String variable set in a Variable Groupe Asset assigned to my Project Settings > Localization > String Database > Smart Format > Sources under "Persistent Variables Source" with "global" for key.

From now, i've tried to access it by this way :

Code (CSharp):

1. PersistentVariablesSource source = LocalizationSettings
2.             .StringDatabase
3.             .SmartFormatter
4.             .GetSourceExtension<PersistentVariablesSource>();
5. IVariable val;
6.         var o = source["global"].TryGetValue("locStringVarName", out val);
7. Variable<LocalizedString> locStringVar;
8.         if(o) locStringVar = val as Variable<LocalizedString>;
9. if(locStringVar != null){
10. var op = LocalizationSettings.InitializationOperation;
11.         if (op.IsDone)
12.         {
13.             locStringVar.Value = localizedString;
14.         }
15.         else
16.             op.Completed += (op) => locStringVar.Value = localizedString;
17. }

I have no errors but or the localizedString is never assigned to the locStringVar.Value or I miss something to update it.

I access, at the same time, a string variable in the same persistent Variables and it work fine.
Also, I'm working with com.unity.localization package v1.0.4 under Unity v2020.3.19f1


Any suggestions would be very helpful

Regards

 

Did you ever get this working? I was just recently trying to do the same thing and it wasn't super clear how to modify a LocalizedString in the PersistentVariablesSource. Anyway, got it working like so:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. using UnityEngine.Localization;
3. using UnityEngine.Localization.Settings;
4. using UnityEngine.Localization.SmartFormat.Extensions;
5. using UnityEngine.Localization.SmartFormat.PersistentVariables;
6.  
7. var source = LocalizationSettings.StringDatabase.SmartFormatter.GetSourceExtension<PersistentVariablesSource>();
8. if(source.TryGetValue("global", out VariablesGroupAsset globalVariables))
9. {
10.   if(globalVariables.TryGetValue("locStringVarName", out IVariable variable))
11.   {
12.     var localizedString = variable as LocalizedString;
13.     if(localizedString != null)
14.     {
15.       localizedString.TableEntryReference = "table_entry_key";
16.     }
17.   }
18. }
19.
