Unable to add MonoBehaviours to "Use Parameter"s in ActionList

Leycarno

Hi there,

I wanted to combine the action to speak a line with a speakers camera-switch, because both speakers have one for themselfs and the actionlist grows fast...

So I made an actionlist for this both actions but than I see I have to insert the IDs of camera and speaker. And the other ugly Thing for me: the String was not multiline.

So I made some changes:

• - Enums.cs

I add _Camera and Char:

public enum ParameterType { GameObject, InventoryItem, GlobalVariable, LocalVariable, String, Float, Integer, Boolean, _Camera, Char };

• ActionRunActionList.cs

around line 518 I add some stuff:

else if (externalParameters[i].parameterType == ParameterType.Char) {

localParameters[i].behaviour = (Char) EditorGUILayout.ObjectField ("Param Char:", localParameters[i].behaviour, typeof (Char), true);

}

else if (externalParameters[i].parameterType == ParameterType._Camera) {

localParameters[i].behaviour = (_Camera) EditorGUILayout.ObjectField ("Param Camera:", localParameters[i].behaviour, typeof (_Camera), true);

}

• ActionParameter

There I add a new member and override the setMethod:

public MonoBehaviour behaviour;

public void SetValue (MonoBehaviour _behaviour)

{

Debug.Log("Set Parameter Monobehaviour");

behaviour = _behaviour;

gameObject = null;

floatValue = 0f;

stringValue = "";

intValue = -1;

}

• ActionCamera.cs
  
• ActionSpeach.cs

There I needed to change from GameObject to the specific Behaviours:

parameterID = Action.ChooseParameterGUI ("Speaker:", parameters, parameterID, ParameterType.Char);

parameterID = Action.ChooseParameterGUI ("New camera:", parameters, parameterID, ParameterType._Camera);

That seems to work, I used the ActionEditor and all was fine.

But always I start the Game, the inserted Monobehaviours just disapeared and went NULL.

I think I missed something - is there a solution?

->>> Or maybe an easy way to extends the action "ActionSpeech" with an optional SpeakerCam? (That's what I had in mind at first...)

Best Regards

I can't bugfix your code if you've gone and modified AC, but what exactly are you trying to do?  The workflow you described before the changes sounds correct - though you can just drag the objects into the parameter fields, no need to enter in ID numbers.

Leycarno

Yeah, modify the Code is no good idea.

I create a "sub"-Actionlist with 3 Parameter:

- Camera (gameObject)

- Speaker (gameObject)

- TextLine (String)

When I use this "sub"-Actionlist in the "Main"-Actionlist I have to put Camera and NPC by the ID.

But I think I will work with IDs for the prototype. 

AC is the only addon I have so far, maybe my Cutscenes are to big with about 100 Steps (devided into 5 Actionlists)...

I started out new because something is messing my whole project a litte...

So here - maybe this is an idea for an extention of the Cutscenes.

It's just a start, but may be usefull...
