Question Changing the value of local variable in smart string via script

Hi, I've read the following page but I couldn't understand, or I did something wrong.

I have this smart string that counts the 'day' in-game. It should do a ++ whenever a new day begins.

I've made a Variables Group Asset called "LocalVariable" and added an integer variable called 'day'. I may have done something wrong here because in the linked page above, in the third picture, there's a check box for "Addressable" and it doesn't have a (Variables Group Asset) after the name, unlike my group asset.

I've added the Variables Group Asset in the Project Settings > Localization > Smart Format > Parser > Sources > Persistent Variables Source, named "global".

Here's the script for TimeManager.

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. using System.Collections;
3. using System.Collections.Generic;
4. using UnityEngine;
5. using UnityEngine.Localization.Settings;
6. public class TimeManager : MonoBehaviour
7. {
8.     public int day;
9.     public void UpdateDate()
10.     {
11.         var source = LocalizationSettings.StringDatabase.SmartFormatter.GetSourceExtension<PersistentVariablesSource>();
12.         day = source["localVariable"]["day"] as IntVariable;
13.         using (PersistentVariablesSource.UpdateScope())
14.         {
15.             EndOfDay();
16.         }
17.     }
18.     public void EndOfDay()
19.     {
20.         day++;
21.     }
22. }
23.  
24.  

 

Sorry for the late reply, here they are:

Ooh, I see. I've deleted it just now; however, it gave me this error below:
Assets\Scripts\Master\TimeManager.cs(8,12): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'IntVariable' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I guessed not adding Localization and Localization.Tables were the problem but they weren't. Am I missing something?

 

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4. using UnityEngine.Localization.Settings;
5. using UnityEngine.Localization.SmartFormat.PersistentVariables;
6.  
7. public class TimeManager : MonoBehaviour
8. {
9.     public IntVariable day;
10.  
11.     public void Start()
12.     {
13.         var source = LocalizationSettings.StringDatabase.SmartFormatter.GetSourceExtension<PersistentVariablesSource>();
14.         day = source["global"]["day"] as IntVariable;
15.         EndOfDay();
16.     }
17.     public void EndOfDay()
18.     {
19.         day.Value++;
20.     }
21. }

this is how it looks now, it gave me an error below:
Assets\Scripts\Master\TimeManager.cs(13,92): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'PersistentVariablesSource' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

 

It almost never suggests me namespace. When I use Random.Range, it adds 'using.System' but that's about it

The error mentioned before is gone now!
The new error says: FormattingException: Error parsing format string: Could not evaluate the selector "day" at 1
I checked out the old post regarding this matter here: https://forum.unity.com/threads/error-parsing-format-string.1011778/
But I didn't catch where I need to drag my GameObject with the Localize String Event component.

 

It works perfectly now!! Thank you so much for the help!!
