View source for RawRadiatorDisplayName Explanation

== Explanation ==

The [[RawRadiatorDisplayName]] page is a workaround for efficiently converting Radiator data names into Radiator display names. I previously attempted to use a template file using a <nowiki>#switch function</nowiki>, but it was extremely inefficient since there are so many Radiators to check through one by one, and the template had to be called over and over for every Radiator data name on the page that needed to be converted. This method is way faster.

== Usage ==

{{#get_web_data:
|url={{fullurl:RawRadiatorDisplayName|action=raw}}
|data=__all
}}

Just put this once anywhere in your wiki page that is before the Radiator data names that you wish to convert.
<pre>
{{#get_web_data:
|url={{fullurl:RawRadiatorDisplayName|action=raw}}
|data=__all
}}
</pre>

Then, to convert a Radiator data name such as "PonderomotiveVASIMRx3", simply type:
<pre>
{{#external_value:PonderomotiveVASIMRx3}}
</pre>
Which would output: {{#external_value:PonderomotiveVASIMRx3}}

== How to Update RawRadiatorDisplayName ==

Whenever the game adds more Radiators, [[RawRadiatorDisplayName]] can be easily updated as follows:
# Open the file <pre> TIRadiatorTemplate.en </pre>, which is located in <pre> \Terra Invicta\TerraInvicta_Data\StreamingAssets\Localization\en </pre>
# Do a search for every line that starts with <pre>TIRadiatorTemplate.displayName.</pre>
# Copy every line found, and paste it into [[RawRadiatorDisplayName]], replacing everything after the line <pre>EXPLANATION=[[RawRadiatorDisplayName Explanation]]</pre>
# Finally do a search and replace to replace every <pre>TIRadiatorTemplate.displayName.</pre> with nothing.
