| − | == Magic Text Overview ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Many triggers, actions, and constraints allow you to configure some text fields. Often, you will find a button next to the text input field that contains the "..." label. This button displays a complete list of "magic text" fields available in the context you are using.
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you want to type them manually instead, if you know them, be aware that there may be spelling/typing errors.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === How Magic Text Works ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | The magic text allows a different value to be substituted at the point of call, instead of the standard static text that never changes. For example, it's possible to add an action that references a variable via magic text, and that variable's value will be substituted at the point the action is executed.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Magic Text Formats ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | Magic text can be written in two ways:
| |
| − | * Curly braces: {value}
| |
| − | * Square braces: [value]
| |
| − | | |
| − | Curly brackets are not supported on very old versions like v5.20 and below, but it's recommended to use them when interacting with dictionaries/arrays, as square brackets can get confusing very quickly.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Magic Text Syntax ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | Magic text for dictionaries/arrays is written like this:
| |
| − | | |
| − | <pre style="background-color: #e9e9e9; border-radius: 5px; padding: 10px;">
| |
| − | {lv=dictionary/array name[entry][sub-entry]}
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − | | |
| − | There can be as many [sub-entry] as you like. Be aware that this can get complicated very quickly! Curly `{}` braces have been added so that users can easily see the beginning and end of a dictionary/array magic text.
