Anyone know if its possible to call a variable using the "Show Text" command.
For example, in older rpg makers. You could use the "Show text" and in the box for text.
\v[x]
\v = the command to call a variable
[x] = the number for the variable you are calling
this can be used to reference "Common events" and such.
I tried using said command: \v[x] but it didn't work.
I'm trying to recreate a time system using common events and variables. When the player uses an item it will show a text calling the variables representing "minutes" and "hours".

The control characters are listed in the following source code Assets\RPGMaker\Codebase\Runtime\Common\ControlCharacter\ControlCharacter.cs * Japanese only. And I could not find this in any manual or documentation anywhere! ⇒Sorry. This is documented in below Beginner's Tutorial. https://rpgmakerunite.com/en/learn/006_eng.html#01c

Thank you so much! I haven't messed with RPG Maker in a while so it slipped my mind that it would be case sensitive..
I was using a lower case \v[n]. I changed it to uppercase \V[n] and now it works perfectly. Thank you!
