LookupString

Available since Version 1.27.

Gets the current value for a string from the game's text bible.

Syntax

LookupString( string_name )

Arguments

  • string_name (string): The name of a string.

Return Values

  • (string | nil): The current value of the string or nil if it cannot be found.

Examples

local MissionObjective00 = LookupString("MISSION_OBJECTIVE_00")

Notes

  • This will return nil if called in CustomFiles.lua because the game's text bible is not loaded yet.
  • This looks up the current value of the string, including per level/mission overrides from the Custom Text hack.
