#Kismet

Kismet node for setting the Steam player name into a ConversationTree string variable!

Take note: this works only on the Steam release of the game. Also, it doesn't work in the editor (because of OnlineSubsystem is not available here)

Variable reference:

ConversationStringName

enter your conversation tree variable name here, for example playername, then just enter the [playername] in the conversation tree message

ValueOnFail

here you can enter the default value - it will be used where OnlineSubsystem is not available
