All interactions in the _Interactions folder are empty in ActionList Editor

idjamesmccarthy

I did not install anything new to the project and had not updated AC - am using latest version with Unity 6.3LTS. Last night, all interactions with corresponding actions were visible and working - today their actions are empty despite a message at bottom of editor indicating that they are locked but present.

How odd! And this is occurring only for Interactions - or are any Cutscenes in the same scene also having this issue?

Don't save changes to this scene - make a copy and work in there. Do you have a recent backup?

Are you using any custom Actions? If not, you should be OK to PM the scene file to me - I'll take a look at this on my end.

idjamesmccarthy

I don't have any Cutscenes in the scene.
I've gone back several days in terms of backups and issue present in all of them.
How would I PM the scene to you?

ChrisIceBox

Click my profile and then the "Message" button.

I've gone back several days in terms of backups and issue present in all of them.

Backups of just the scene, or the whole project? You said earlier it was working the day previous - is this to say backups that previously worked are no longer?

idjamesmccarthy

Essentially the project was fine one day, the interactions were empty the next time I opened the project, and then opening project backups dating back 2+ days had the interactions also empty. I have project backups going back several weeks but didn't pursue opening them as I'd rather not have to redo work from that time.

Thanks for the file. Fortunately, it looks like much of the work can be restored through AC's automatic backup system. If you select an Interaction, and choose "Action data -> Restore" in the cog menu of its Inspector, the Actions should come back.

Did the project open with any scripting errors at the time the issue started? I'm not sure how this could have happened, not least without any other change going on in the project. If possible, I'd recommend relying on version control as an additional form of backup.

My cog menu does not offer the Restore option. Link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DwndsNPlzgL287MyHnEtIgvzyEBDYKsl/view?usp=sharing
Anyway, manually fixing the remaining interactions isn't that difficult, and I'm using version control now. I appreciate that you took a look at my file. Really enjoy what you are doing supporting Adventure Creator.
