MBTextManager

General Info

The MBTextManager is a public static class, that is used to make in-game texts localizable. It contains games text processong logics and could be used to set global text variables. You can find more information on text variables here.

Setting gloabal text variables

You can set text variable to MBTextManager using method SetTextVariable:

MBTextManager.SetTextVariable(tag, textObject);

It has several overloaded versions with different value argument types.

Any variable set to the MBTextManager will be used by game text processor for any TextObject as if it was defined for that TextObject itself:

StringHelpers.SetCharacterProperties("CURRENT_LIEGE", forLord.MapFaction.Leader.CharacterObject, null, null, false);
StringHelpers.SetCharacterProperties("NEW_LIEGE", newLiege.CharacterObject, null, null, false);

...

persuasionTask2.SpokenLine =
      new TextObject("{=CymOFgzv}I gave an oath to {CURRENT_LIEGE.LINK} - but {?LORD.GENDER}her{?}his{\\?} disregard for the common people of this realm does give me pause.");

In this example method StringHelpers.SetCharacterProperties is used to store certain character properties to the MBTextManager variable array, making them global. They are then used to form new TextObject for a persuasion dialog line.

Please note that TextObject instance must not have any defined attributes (its own text variables) in order to have access to global variables.

TextContext

Any variable set to MBTextManager is stored in the private readonly field named TextContext. It serves as an advanced ditionary of text variables and functions (need more info on that matter), and is only cleared on Campaign.OnDestroy(). Keep in mind that text variables could be freely rewrited at any time with new values.
