Can't link TextMeshPro item to Journal

mikdog

Hi Chris, wonder if I'm doing something wrong:

Following this tutorial: https://adventurecreator.org/tutorials/creating-diary-system
When creating the Journal part ie the text part, I created a Text Mesh Pro game object for the diary text entry, but then couldn't link it with the AC Menu. It only seems to accept a Legacy Text object.

I tried following this tutorial: https://adventurecreator.org/forum/discussion/11620/linking-acs-menu-label-with-textmeshpro-text by adding the 'TextMeshProIsPresent' Scripting Define Symbol to my project, but that didn't seem to allow me to link the TMP object, and the menu still only wanted to accept a legacy Text object.

The TMP object has a Constant ID.

I'm pretty sure I have TMP present in my scene, at least I've used it elsewhere, and wondered (before I going down a deep rabbit hole) if that's just the way the menu should function, or if there's something else I should be doing to allow me to link a TMP object to the 'Linked Text' part of the AC menu?

That's a very old thread - TextMeshPro support is now built-in to AC. Just check Use TMPro components? in the Menu's Properties panel.

Oh my word - of course, that's all it was - just the setting to enable TMP on the menu.

Thanks Chris. Not sure how I missed that.
