Check language

Is there a way to check language in ACS? I want to change voice acting depeding which language the player is using.

Yes, you can check the 'language' CVAR, but be aware that this may be a bit tricky with languages that have multiple variants.
The language CVAR can be two or three letters, where the third letter defines a language variant.
For example, English can be enu for US, eng for UK, ena for Australia plus several others. Unless you want to support such variants, only check the first two letters.

I see,thank you!

hmm How do I actually do the check in ACS?
I have tried this and it prints "finnish" in any language.

Code: Select all

	str language = GetCVarString("language");

	if (Strcmp(language, "FI") == 1)
		print(s:"finnish");
	else
		print(s:"something else");

strcmp returns 0 for equality.
But you'd be better off doing the check like this

Code: Select all

if (stricmp(strleft(language, 2), "FI") == 0)

to account for lower case content and sub-languages.
