Attribute to update live within launch from editor

Help & Support
1

Hi there,

I have been looking at the text example - which is really helpful.

However I really want to be able to update the text in the editor and for the new text to appear in any launched version from the editor.

I had a look around and saw something which I believe is related in the documentation - could anyone help with how I can add this functionality in? Stuck and still learning.

Would help me so much.

Many thanks.

You are using legacy scripts here, but with new system, it is easy to subscribe to attribute change event, where you could re-render text, so it would update whenever you change it in app or from Editor: http://developer.playcanvas.com/en/user-manual/scripting/script-attributes/#updating-attributes

Hi @max,

Thanks for getting back to me - that makes more sense now and I’ve found it to work perfectly by using updated scripts.
