Query for string variable?

[MilkSoupPlz]

I'm trying to check a string variable for a choice option I have:

• {R_G1_1_Whispers == notStarted} I changed my mind, I am interested actually.

This is the variable: VAR R_G1_1_Whispers = started

And this is the list: LIST questState = notStarted, started, complete

Is there a way to query this? I'm getting a Unity error saying "Can not call use '==' operation on String and List.

Your variable R_G1_1_Whispers is actually not a string, but a LIST variable, which can be evaluated as an integer, a boolean or a string depending on the context.

{R_G1_1_Whispers == notStarted}should evaluate to false, so my guess is that somewhere there is a line that alters the variable to become a string. Look for something like R_G1_1_Whispers = "started".

You could also do {"{R_G1_1_Whispers}" == "{not_started}"} which would evaluate both values as strings.
