Examples
Example 1: Do something depending on the user's operating system.
local userPlatform = getProperty("platform")
if userPlatform == "win" or userPlatform == "mac" or userPlatform == "linux" then
print("We're on desktop.")
elseif userPlatform == "ios" or userPlatform == "android" then
print("This is mobile.")
elseif userPlatform == "ps4" or userPlatform == "xbox1" or userPlatform == "nx" then
print("It's a console.")
elseif userPlatform == "html5" then
print("Browser is fine, too.")
end
Example 2: Check if the Steam API has initialized and store the result in a (pre-defined) Visionaire condition called "steamInit".
local steamLoaded = getProperty("steam_initialized")
if steamLoaded then
Conditions["steamInit"].Value = true
else
Conditions["steamInit"].Value = false
end
Example 3: Set the game language to the one we called "Deutsch" in our game settings, if the user's operating system is set to German. Set the game to English in all other cases.
if getProperty("system_language") == "German" then
game.StandardLanguage = Languages["Deutsch"]
else
game.StandardLanguage = Languages["English"]
end
