Variables in Template XML files

Lax,

Is this possible to have a Variable name in a template Filename definition?

<Template Name="VG.Texture" Filename="$&#123;Script[VGCraftBot].Variable[installPath]&#125;\VGUIAssets\Shells \Default\Textures\VgrdParts.tga">

Thanks!

Nope

Also, don't use script.Variable[]. use ${Script[x].Variable.installPath}

I tried converting a few over to that syntax (in my UI.xml file) and it wouldn't recognize them:

Code: Select all

$&#123;Script[VGCraftBot].Variable.varName&#125;

is that the right syntax?

Woops, what was I thinking. it's ${Script[x].VariableScope.installPath}

Out of curiosity, what's wrong with the first way? (I've seen several scripts use this) I take it the index lookup is more expensive?

The first way is just that -- the first way. I dont know what I was thinking when I made it. script.VariableScope is the correct way. The old way is only there for compatibility
