Hello everyone,

I trying to make a dialogue system with textMeshPro and i struggle to have a visual update of the selected answers.
My first idea swa to incorpore an updatable variable (colorAnswerX) :

    readonly string colorAnswer_unseleted = "<color=white>";
    readonly string colorAnswer_seleted = "<color=yellow>";
    public string colorAnswer1, colorAnswer2, colorAnswer3;

        //Display answers
        colorAnswer2 = colorAnswer3 = colorAnswer_unseleted;
        colorAnswer1 = colorAnswer_seleted;
        for (int i = 0; i < answers.Count; i++)
        {
            textMeshProUGUI.text += "\n";
            if (i == 0)
                answers[i] = colorAnswer1 + answers[i];
            else if (i == 1)
                answers[i] = colorAnswer2 + answers[i];
            else if (i == 2)
                answers[i] = colorAnswer3 + answers[i];

            textMeshProUGUI.text += answers[i];          
        }

However when i update for exemple colorAnswer2 the text color don’t change.
The problem is that the textMeshProUGUI.text isn’t updated but how can i do to change my answers color?

You can edit the .color property or use html style inclining
