Accessing Game Variables outside of ork

in ORK Support
I'm trying to set up Steam Achievements for my game. All of the things that I want to check are kept track of in the game by ork game variables (whether or not certain scenes have been done, how many times you've beaten the game, what endings you've done, etc). But I need to check them in a C# script. Can I do that and what's the correct syntax for checking them?

    You can access global variables via ORK.Game.Variables, offering various functions to get, set or change values, e.g. getting a bool variable:

    bool value = ORK.Game.Variables.GetBool("key");

    Awesome! Thank you!

    Is there a list of those functions somewhere I can check out?
  • gamingislovegamingislove
    Yes, in the API - check out the variable handler here.

    Have these functions changed (for ORK 2. I'm updating an old project.) and if so can you share me a new link? My old ones appear to no longer work.

    Due to ORK 3 being an extension for Makinom 2, some of ORK 2's functionality is now found in Makinom.

    The global variables are now found here: Maki.Game.Variables

    So instead of:
    bool value = ORK.Game.Variables.GetBool("key");

    we'd use:
    bool value = Maki.Game.Variables.GetBool("key");
    ?

    and is using ORKFramework still enough on this or is there a Makinom namespace I should include too? (and if so where can I get that data?)

    Yes - new namespaces are GamingIsLove.ORKFramework and also GamingIsLove.Makinom.

    and those namespaces are included in ORK 2? My visual studios isn't recognizing them. Although it is still recognizing ORKFramework as a namespace.

    Oh, sorry ... are you using ORK 2? I thought you where updating an ORK 2 project to ORK 3.

    For ORK 2 things are still the same:
    - namespace: ORKFramework
    - global variables: ORK.Game.Variables

    Okay. That makes sense. The code must not be working for some other reason then.
  • gamingislovegamingislove
    Are you getting an error or is it just not doing anything?
    Maybe post your code and I can take a look at it :)

    Sorry! I only just saw this. Thank you for the offer! The code is for steam achievements. I found why it wasn't working: it checks a variable repeatedly to make sure everything is set up properly and it's talking with steam, but there's no place in the code where it actually changed that variable. So it was exiting the code before ever calling anything from ORK.
