Player Switch OnAfterChangeScene problem

centuryeggyo

I am trying to figure out how to change the default player, the best way I came up with was to switch the player in the "OnAfterChangeScene" Event. It seems to work fine until I skip the "OnStart" action in the scene. When I skip the "OnStart" action list, the default player comes out, while the the player I am trying to switch to shows up but cannot be controlled. Is switching player "OnAfterChangeScene" Event a big no no, or is this some kind of bug?

I'd need to know more specific details about the process. Do you have the "Player switching" setting enabled, or are you manually adding/removing Player objects?

When using Player-switching, AC will switch to the newly-assigned Player's scene if it's not currently open. Typically, you'd set the Player's scene (with "Player: Teleport inactive") and then switch to that Player (with "Player: Switch"). AC would then take over the scene-switching automatically.

Yes, the Player switching is set to "allow" in the setting. I am using the player switching in the action list asset of the "OnAfterChangeScene" event. So basically switching the player before the scene is loaded? The reason why I am doing it this way and not after the scene is loaded is because at the momement when the player switches, there's no black screen, and then goes to black screen afterwards.

Everything worked out this way until I skip the "OnStart" cutscene, and it spawns the default player on top of the switched player(cannot control).

I suspect it's a case of AC getting confused about your intent with the way you've set things up.

I'm not 100% clear on your situation, but try putting the Player: Switch Action into the OnStart cutscene itself - don't have a separate OnAfterChangeScene ActionList that runs alongside it.
