StringChanged event not getting triggered when language changes?

I'm very new to this package, and I'm having a really hard time understanding how to use the SmartStrings. For my Localize String Event, I have attached a custom script to the Local Variables as an Object Reference.

Table entry example:

My name is {myScriptName.myName}​

Inside my script:

public string myName= "Sarah";​

Outputs:

My name is Sarah​

However, I'm trying to get to where I can recompute the value of myName when the language changes (or even just in the first place and not have it as a set variable at the top of my file). I have OnEnable/OnDisable for LocalizedString.StringChanged, but the function I create never gets called. The function literally only has a Debug.Log statement in it.

Questions:

1. What event can I listen for to be able to recompute myName whenever the language changes?
2. How can I recompute myName at all? Lambda functions don't seem to be allowed, but I need to access some of my other files to get the final string I want myName to be.

 

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEditor;
4. using UnityEngine;
5. using UnityEngine.Localization;
6. using UnityEngine.Localization.Components;
7.  
8. public class LocalPuzzleName : MonoBehaviour
9. {
10.     public LocalizedString puzzleNameTemplate;
11.     public string localPuzzleName = "dskfjlkjs";
12.  
13.     void OnEnable()
14.     {
15.         puzzleNameTemplate.Arguments = new[] { this };
16.         puzzleNameTemplate.StringChanged += UpdateString;
17.     }
18.  
19.     void OnDisable()
20.     {
21.         puzzleNameTemplate.StringChanged -= UpdateString;
22.     }
23.  
24.     void UpdateString(string s)
25.     {
26.         Debug.Log("s: " + s);
27.         localPuzzleName = s;
28.     }
29.  
30.     void OnGUI()
31.     {
32.         puzzleNameTemplate.RefreshString();
33.         EditorGUILayout.LabelField(localPuzzleName);
34.     }
35. }
36.  

 

The script never prints the Debug.Log statement I have in the UpdateString method.

As for recomputing the name, I need to get the current puzzle name in my game (saved as an int representing an index), which then I can use to call a different Localization table to get the localized version of the current puzzle name so that I can insert it into the localized string that uses that name.

I'm not sure if there is an easier way to do that, like if a Localization table can directly access a different Localization table, with the index to that other table set as a variable inside my script?

 

Well, so I just noticed that I had disabled my script component, which was why nothing was getting called. However, after enabling it, I'm now getting this error:

FormattingException: Error parsing format string: Could not evaluate the selector "LocalPuzzleName" at 1
{LocalPuzzleName.localPuzzleName}​

I've added the script as a component of the TextMeshPro GameObject that also has the Localize String Event component. In the Localize String Event component, I have a Local Variables entry "localPuzzleName" equal to my script component that I added (as an Object Reference).

 

Thank you! I got it to work. I'll add my working code below in case anyone else stumbles onto this thread.

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4. using UnityEngine.Localization;
5. using UnityEngine.Localization.Components;
6. using UnityEngine.Localization.Settings;
7.  
8. public class GetPuzzleName : MonoBehaviour
9. {
10.     public LocalizeStringEvent puzzleNameEvent;
11.     private LocalizedString localPuzzleName;
12.  
13.     public string puzzleKey {
14.         get {
15.             return "mgmgmg_" + LocalizationSettings.SelectedLocale;
16.         }
17.     }
18.  
19.     void OnEnable()
20.     {
21.         localPuzzleName = puzzleNameEvent.StringReference;
22.         puzzleNameEvent.OnUpdateString.AddListener(OnStringChanged);
23.     }
24.  
25.     void OnStringChanged(string s)
26.     {
27.         Debug.Log($"String changed to `{s}`");
28.         Debug.Log("Language selected: " + LocalizationSettings.SelectedLocale);
29.     }
30. }
