How to persist variables across multiple Ink stories (Variable Observer) | Unity + Ink tutorial
Uploaded by Trever MockShare: Twitter Facebook
In this video, I show how to persist variables across multiple Ink stories using a Variable Observer.
As an added bonus, I also show how to use the system to change something in the game based on something that happens in the Ink dialogue.
This can be used to add cause/effect between Ink stories and also to change things in the game depending on variables set in the Ink dialogue file.
Thank you for watching and I hope the video was helpful! ?
