[seed071608]

My English is poor！！
I use Godot 3.5.1

The player's name is Bob, and the name is saved in autoload. How can I use the variable of autoload in the conversation

Any help is appreciated!

So what you need to do is use dialogic definitions to bridge between GDScript and Dialogic. This is thankfully pretty simple, but is a multistep process, so here it goes.

Step 1 Create the definition in Dialogic. You can name this whatever you want

Feel free to give it a default value for testing

Step 2 Set the definition in GDScript. This is pretty straight forward.

Dialogic.set_variable('active-item-count', '5 Bananas')

The link has been made! Now how do you use it?

Step 3 Use the definition in Dialogic
Very simple again just use brackets!

And it will look a little something like this

You can change the value of a definition with the Set Value Event

And you can get the current value of a definution in GDScript with the get_variable call like so

Dialogic.get_variable('active-item-count')

WHY do we use the terms VALUE, DEFINTION, and VARIABLE to all refer to the same thing... well that's one of many reasons the Dialogic 2.x project is such a big rewrite!
