Here's the error, the text on my UI

[pearl ocean]

when are you assigning dailyRoutineLocalizedString? I don't see it anywhere

[subtle lodge]

Isn't this the assignation ?

[pearl ocean]

no, you're already accessing properties inside that object without ever assiging anything to it

[subtle lodge]

oh

[pearl ocean]

you either need to create a new instance of it during runtime or assign it through the inspector

[subtle lodge]

to what should I assign it ?

oh

in the tutorial he does this, but this won't work for me as the text keeps changing during the day depending on the routine

[pearl ocean]

you can see a few examples here: https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.localization@1.5/api/UnityEngine.Localization.LocalizedString.html

[subtle lodge]

Like this ?

[pearl ocean]

yeah, that can be simplified but it should work just fine

[subtle lodge]

it works first for few hours, but then it gave me this

but when switching to another language it gives me the right text until the next routine where it gives me that gibberish text

[pearl ocean]

looks like line 76 in your first screenshot

you're converting the LocalizedString object description instead of the actual value

[pearl ocean]

you want GetLocalizedString() instead of ToString()

line 83

[subtle lodge]

You're the best, thank you so much 🙏

[subtle lodge]

can I skip line 40 and 41 as I already use it in line 39 at the instantiation ?

[pearl ocean]

try instantiating it in the same line as you're declaring the object

[subtle lodge]

isn't that what I'm already doing at line 39 ? 🤔

[pearl ocean]

I can see in the docs that changing the TableEntryReference should also trigger the StringChanged event
if that's the case then you can skip assigning the text on OnDailyRoutineChange

[pearl ocean]

yes, but ideally you should move that as close as possible to the object initialization, right now it would give you a null reference exception if you try to access that variable during Awake

[subtle lodge]

so what's the best place to do that in ? Awake() ? On Enable() ?

[pearl ocean]

by doing that you'll also be able to get rid of all those "DailyRoutines" table references, you only need it once during initialization

[pearl ocean]

private LocalizedString dailyRoutineLocalizedString = new LocalizedString("DailyRoutines", string.Empty);

[subtle lodge]

So I should delete all of this ?

[pearl ocean]

just line 83, the rest is necessary

you're already doing it on OnStringChanged

[subtle lodge]

like so ?

[pearl ocean]

you can delete line 35 and 39, that has been defined previously already

[subtle lodge]

done 👍

[pearl ocean]

also consider calling OnDailyRoutineChange instead of duplicating the code on Start

[subtle lodge]

for what code exactly ? from line 34 to 38 ?

[pearl ocean]

correct, it should be very similar to the method, if not the same

actually you might want to subscribe to the event before assigning the TableEntryReference

[subtle lodge]

but it's kinda weird as I never use all that boilerplate code because at the end I'm using the localizedText argument 🤔

[pearl ocean]

no, wait 😂 something went wrong there

do you mind posting the whole code somewhere? !code

yeah 😄

[pearl ocean]

check this: https://paste.mod.gg/urcwwxdorrdq/
(line 46 should also be removed)

[subtle lodge]

Nice, it still work 👍 Except the first time when launching but I think it's has to do with my code logic about the daily routine where the routine between 23:00 and 6:00 isn't properly chosen because of a logic issue 😬

This is the code for it in my DailyRoutineManager.cs class

[pearl ocean]

maybe this is running before HUDManager.Start?
I can't say much about the rest of the logic though

[subtle lodge]

No because the next day it's the same issue as the routine "Lights Out" never shows up in my UI ever, and keeps staying at "Night Roll Call" between 10 PM and 6 AM. So the first day nothing appears in the UI for the text of the routine until 6 AM

[pearl ocean]

aren't you always displaying the last task that matches the time?
it seems to be overriding all the previous ones

[subtle lodge]

Here's my code if you want to check it 🙂 https://paste.mod.gg/hueiygauxboh/4

[subtle lodge]

@pearl ocean Everything works perfectly now, thank you so much 👍

I'm trying to make a step by step document on how to properly do things for next time and here's what I have :

[subtle lodge]

To summarize the localization things :

• 1. Install the Localization package
• 2. Choose the languages I want to localize
• 3. Create the Localization table
• 4. Create entries and give them name for the key
• 5. Fill those entries with appropriate translation for each language

In Code :

• 1. Create a string variable that contains the name of the table ( i.e tableName)
• 2. Create a string variable that contains the name of the entry (i.e tableEntry)
• 3. Create a LocalizedString variable and instantiate it to a new LocalizedString(tableName, tableEntry);
• 4. Subscribe to StringChanged for the localized string variable in OnEnable()
• 5. In OnStringChanged method, change the UI text there by assigning the parameter localizedText to it
