This script allows you to create dynamic action names that are set on mouse over; this script is especially useful for developers using the broken sword style command interface or a coin based command interface with limited commands.
Instructions
1. Add the main script to the Visionaire Studio Script Editor & set the script as a definition script.
2. Create language tables inside of the t table; language names should reflect languages names assigned to your project.
-- * tables * --
local t = {}
t["English"]
t["German"]
-- etc...
3. Add action names to each language table; !important - they must all be written in the same order.
t["English"] = {"Use", "Pick Up", "Push", "Pull"}
t["German"] = {"Benutzen", "Nehmen", "Drucken", "Ziehen"}
-- etc...
4. On mouse enter for each object, character, or item; create an execute a script action containing...
renameBtn(integer value)
example
renameBtn(1) -- returns "Use", "Benutzen" etc...
renameBtn(2) -- returns "Pick Up", "Nehmen" etc...
-- it will return a single name from the tables based on integer value of '''val''' & the current game language.
5. On mouse out for each object, character or item; create an execute a script action containing...
resetBtn()
