handing over/retrieving variables from one timeline to another

[noki391]

Hi, is there a way to call a variable that was set in a different timeline?
I have an intro timeline where I store the playername as a variable in Dialogic as well as in my save_game. I would like to use that variable in a later timeline or when the player resumes the game. Any suggestions how I could do that?

Sure. Variables should be persistent over multiple timelines by default. So you should be able to just keep using that variable in later timelines.
However if you want them to be persistent over multiple game sessions, you need to look at Saving and Loading. Dialogic has a built-in save system that you can use.

you are right. I had set a default variable which overwrote when re-opening. And yes, it does keep the variables throughout the timelines
