String Actions

String actions help you build, format, choose, and reveal text at runtime.

This section focuses on higher-level PlayMaker string actions that do more than directly mirror a single .NET string API call.

Many other string actions in PlayMaker are thin wrappers around standard System.String methods such as Contains, Substring, StartsWith, or Replace. Those are still available in the Action Browser, but this section highlights the actions that are usually most helpful when building FSM logic.
