Accessing internal variables in Dialogic 2

[Kozelek]

I saw that in Dialogic 1 it was possible to access internal variables with the Dialogic Class and functions get_variable(name, default) and set_variable(name, default).
Is it possible to do the same in Dialogic 2?
I need it because I want to make a "map selection" scene where the player can select several places from a city. Once a place in the city is selected it should not be selected again, that's why I need to control that with Dialogic's internal variables.

In dialogic 2 you can access variables via the Variable subsystem, shortened to VAR:

If your dialogic-setup looks like this:

You could write the following in code:

Dialogic.VAR.Player.Name = "Emily"
if Dialogic.VAR.Counter > 3:
    Dialogic.VAR.Player.Health += 20

This is also explained in more detail in the variables editor.

Alternatively you can now access external variables of Autoloads in conditions. So if you had for example a "Map" autoload with variables that indicate which places have been visited you could make the following conditions:

That would imply this kind of variable in your "Map" autoloads script:

var visited_places := ["Kitchen", "School", "Park"]

Thanks! This definitely helps!
