Hello!

If you're curious, first try out seeing if you can make a text box with Unity's standard text mesh. STM has the same implementations as Unity's default text renderers, so if you can set TextMesh.text, you can set SuperTextMesh.text!

Also, if you're looking for a dialogue manager with localization support, I've actually recently released my own, Fleece! https://kaiclavier.itch.io/fleece

That said, I don't have that many examples set up yet for non-programmers, so my feelings won't be hurt if you go with a competitor, haha

Thanks for the reply buddy!

Fleece looks really cool too! Reminds me of Twine! Watching the tutorial video, you use the set text method in your jumper class to do exactly as mentioned.

So essentially, I’d need to find a way to read the data from Articy and set SuperTextMesh.text to replicate the text brought over from Articy, is that right?

Is this essentially what your jumper class in Fleece is doing?

Thanks for your help, I’ll be picking up Super Text Mesh on Friday when I get paid :)

Yeah, you've got the idea! In reality, you don't need a class as fancy as a jumper (but they are very helpful for visualizing things and editing text on the fly). But if you can do...

TextMesh.text = Articy.whereverYourTextIsStored;

Then that will work with STM!
