Question Conditional localization with Smart String?

Hi there,

Assuming I have a Text
"Hello This is Text"

Now assuming I get player name on runtime and either player provide it or not, above text will change into this

"Hello PlayerName, This is Text"
If playername is null
"Hello This is Text"

Notice with playername is not null then "," is also included this is where i need help

"Hello {Condition:'${PlayerName},' : 'This'} is Text"

Something like this?
Please advise

 

Thanks, so it'd be like this?



var playerName = randomBool ? "John" : null;

Smart.Format("{0:choose(null|):You|{},}", playerName);

 

Hey, I stumbled upon this thread as I'm trying to have "conditional" rows of text in a localized string, an entry would look like this:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. You lost the battle.
3. {0:choose(null): |<style="neg">{} was injured</style>}
4. {1:choose(null): |<style="neg">{} was injured</style>}
5. {2:choose(null): |<style="neg">{} was injured</style>}
6.  

I would like to have max. 3 rows (args 0-2) and only show a row if the argument is assigned. However, even if I assign an argument to this LocalizedString like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. description.Arguments = new[] { "Michael" };

It will always just show the empty space (or if I put something else there like ...:empty|... then it would be that). Is there a better approach for something like this, meaning a listing of text where the amount of rows could change based on the arguments?

EDIT: I had version 1.0.5 of localization, updated to 1.4.3, but that didn't help.

 

Hey, just to note that the correct way to format this is like this:

{0:list:<style="neg">{} was injured</style>|\n}

The example you gave had {}-brackets after list and stuff inside of the brackets, which caused some errors.
Figured out from the documentation, thanks for the link on that!
