How do I make a dialogue string show a string/variable?

I still can't seem to figure it out.

I'll try that thanks!

This will be really difficult to make a system which will parse object names and instance variables in JSON strings. What I usually do is I add simple tags, for example: "Hey, (player_name)! If you bring me the magic scroll I will give you (coins) gold coins!"

And then before showing this line on the screen I replace tags with real values.

> Set text to replace(text, "(playerName)", Player.Name)
Set text to replace(text, "(coins)", NPC.questPrize)

Is there something I'm doing wrong here?

Check out this demo

Is it possible to do it with the typewriter text? It always breaks whenever I try to do typewriter with it.

Try to put it in a variable first.

Elaborate, please.

Set variable1 to replace(...)

Typewriter text variable1

I'm just thinking that typewriter might get confused by the replace stuff, so do the replace before.

And also don't use square brackets [] in your own custom tags if you have BBcode in text. You can use curly ones - {}

I'm confused on this, would it be possible for you to send a example project?

Did you see the project I posted here? You can use the typewriter there, just do all the "replace" actions first.

This doesn't seem to work.

I'd also like to mention, the dialogue is being pulled from a JSON file, not a string/global variable.. If this helps at all--
