Scene Name - Using Scene Attributes. Possible to access in action list?

Phantasie

Hi

I would like to display the name of the current scene in a textbox. While there are many ways to do this, I felt a scene attributes would work well.

Plan

• Add string scene attribute named "Scene Name"
• Event for Scene start to run action list
• In action list Set the Menu Element for the scene name display to be the value of the "Scene Name" attribute

However: I cant find any way to extract the value of an attribute in action list. Checking is easly.

Notes:
I can easily do this through script, but it would be nice to avoid a custom script to do this.
I could also add a custom action to copy a scene attribute into a variable (or action list parameter).

Am I using attributes wrong? I know you dont intend for them to change at runtime. Im not looking to do that.

You can use the [scene:X] token, replacing X with the attribute's ID, inside text fields to replace it with the attribute's value for the open scene.

Thank you. Surely this is documented and I missed it (and makes sense to use a token for this).
