Looking up Persistent Container via code

StanleyRos

Hello everyone,

I'm playing around with idea of using persistent container (https://adventure-creator.fandom.com/wiki/Creating_a_global_Container) as a list for saving some values for my game. In this case I'm trying to determine which NPCs are dead.

I have created a container that accepts only Item Category Persons (and was assigned id:0), and item of said Category named npc_joe. Now I would like to tap into that container via code to check on any scene if that item is located within that container.

The base idea is this:

And current test implementation is:

For now, I'm manually assigning Container which is present in same scene, but once this won't be possible in scenes where it is not yet present.

I tried digging through manual and documentation, but I can't seem to be able to find how to make it find Container id:0. Is this even possible?

Thanks in advance

As long as the container game object also has a Remember component (and thus a constant ID assigned to it), you should be able to run AC actions that refer to it in any scene. To set up a check in a different scene, you could create a prefab, drop it into the scene, assign it to the action you want, and then delete the object in the scene.

Either way, I'm not sure I understand why you're doing this with containers. Imho it'd be easier to rely on component variables.
