get a text file's variable type as a string

I have many variables in a text file as tags, and many are bools, and many are strings. in playmaker I need to be able to find a tag variable by name, then store its type as a string, to know how to manipulate it later. How do we do this?

Re: Save all filenames found in a folder to strings?

This is great. I use Playmaker and am not a coder. Is there a Playmaker Unity action for this, or does one need to be created?

Save all filenames found in a folder to strings?

Basically, I want to be able to generate a list of text documents in a "books" folder, and then when you click one (in an in-game menu), it loads that file's text into a book in-game for you to read. All I need is the ability to scan a folder and store all its filenames. How do we do this?

Re: Text Saved in Tags in .TXT, Only Loads Top Tagged Text

Hey, thanks. I'm working hard on it. Also, is there a limit to the number of characters within a single tagged data area in a text file?

Re: Text Saved in Tags in .TXT, Only Loads Top Tagged Text

Thanks for the info. I don't have the code for the truncated tagged dialogue handy, so when I am able to get it, I'll post it as a new topic, since it was unrelated to this particular problem. Unless it would be better to post it here. Thanks, again for the help! Here is my game: http://westingtyler...

Re: Text Saved in Tags in .TXT, Only Loads Top Tagged Text

I can post the FSM if needed, but I think I have pinpointed the problem: As long as I never open, edit, and save the prepared text file in Notepad, the tags are all read properly by the Playmaker FSM. But I opened up the file and changed the contents of one tag from "incomplete" to "c...

Text Saved in Tags in .TXT, Only Loads Top Tagged Text

Saving text strings into a text file using a tag,and I saved many of them into one text file. But when I try to load the text under any individual tag, I find that whichever tag that is topmost in the text file is the only one whose tagged text is loaded. This seems to make tags useless, as I will n...
