Cutscene doesn't play correctly on onstart chain

Asuna09

Hello,

I hope everyone is having a good day.

I am working on a cutscene that plays correctly when independently placed on the onstart process yet when the scene is in a chain, there is a discrepancy.

I am updated in adventure creator to version 1.84.3 and Unity 6.2

I have photos below but just to give a quick vision on what is happening. When the scene is in the chain, the character Robert is not shown and his dialog doesn't show up.

Please let me know if there is anything further I can provide that may help with figuring out the issue.

I'm not quite clear of the situation from the screenshots - is it "Cutscene lisawork finds bathroom locked and needs help" that doesn't run correctly? What are its Actions?

You can use the AC Status box, enabled at the bottom of the Settings Manager, to get details of what ActionLists are running at any given time. You can also attach Comments to Actions from their cog menus, which can then optionally be shown in the Console. Are the Cutscenes / Actions being run at the intended time?

Hi chris,

good to hear from you.

Yes I went ahead and added the chain photos of the cutscene "Lisawork finds bathroom locked and needs help".

Below is the link.

I learned to use the status box you mentioned and it noted that the gameplay was blocked so I went ahead and changed the cutscene properties to run in background and it got rid of that comment.

I also found the cog wheel next to the action lists but am not sure what to place in them.

and yes the actions are running at their intended times.

Let me know where I go from here.

You too, Asuna.

But I'm sorry, but there's too much here to sift through and I'm not clear on what the underlying issue is.

The Cutscene blocking gameplay isn't necessarily a bad thing. It just means that the Player cannot move around during this time.

From the cog wheel, you can enable Comments above Actions. You can type anything you like in them - it's just a way of checking that they are running. Anything you place in there will show up in the Console if you've enabled that in the Settings Manager.

If you can zip up your project, without the Library folder, PM me a link to it along with instructions on how to recreate the issue, I'll take a look.
