ActionCharPathFind.CreateNew not working

chichinohaha

my script
action = ActionCharPathFind.CreateNew(character,marker,PathSpeed.Walk,false);
action.Run();

character and marker has value, but
action.runtimeChar is null
and also
action.runtimeMarker is null

i think we should check this function ActionCharPathFind.CreateNew
thank you

chichinohaha

    public static ActionCharPathFind CreateNew (Char charToMove, Marker marker, PathSpeed pathSpeed = PathSpeed.Walk, bool usePathfinding = true, bool waitUntilFinish = true, bool turnToFaceAfter = false)
    {
        ActionCharPathFind newAction = CreateNew<ActionCharPathFind> ();
        newAction.charToMove = charToMove;
        newAction.TryAssignConstantID (newAction.charToMove, ref newAction.charToMoveID);
        newAction.marker = marker;
        newAction.TryAssignConstantID (newAction.marker, ref newAction.markerID);
        newAction.speed = pathSpeed;
        newAction.pathFind = usePathfinding;
        newAction.willWait = waitUntilFinish;
        newAction.faceAfter = turnToFaceAfter;
        newAction.runtimeChar = charToMove;
        newAction.runtimeMarker = marker;
        return newAction;
    }

i add two line and it works

Thanks for sharing - though runtimeChar and runtimeMarker are both set by the Action's AssignValues function, which should be called before it gets Run.

How are you running the Action / ActionList after calling CreateNew, and what is your AC version?

chichinohaha

my script
action = ActionCharPathFind.CreateNew(character,marker,PathSpeed.Walk,false);
action.Run();

ac version: 1.85.5

Actions will not run correctly done this way. You instead need to add them to an ActionList, and then run the ActionList.

See the Manual's "Generating Actions through script" chapter for details, as well as the ScriptedActionListExample script for a guided example.
