I'm getting a bunch of errors after updating, I'm on Unity 6000.2.6f2
First it seems to work fine while playtesting, but after that it breaks and I have to restart the editor.
Bunch of errors
Missing editor UI stuff
Full error codes
Can confirm that the above errors occur on a fresh project.
@TaleHammer Let's move this to a new thread, given the number of images.
You're saying errors don't appear immediately, but after some time in the Editor? I don't see any mention of AC in the Console images.
Did you update Unity at the same time, and do these show if you remove AC from the fresh project?
Version 1.85.1:
Upgraded and tested to 1.85.1 - all seems to work well from what I can tell. Just had to re-add scripts to the PersistentEngine. Also thought I'd have to re-edit the 'PlayerInput.cs' script as per this thread but didn't have to - pressing 'escape' skips the cutscene without bringing up the pause menu.
I haven't upgraded to this version yet. Chris can you elaborate on this line item? I'm interested to try this out.
It's a new function inside the Conversation script: RestoreStartingState. Calling this will set each option's on/off state back to it's default value.
..And I've just realised it doesn't unlock options that have been turn on/off "forever". I'll correct this in v1.85.2.
I've just updated and am getting the following error when trying to build for Windows:
Assets\AdventureCreator\Scripts\Templates\MobileJoystick\Scripts\Joystick.cs(184,15): error CS1061: 'Touch' does not contain a definition for 'finger' and no accessible extension method 'finger' accepting a first argument of type 'Touch' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
I'm using Unity 6000.2.10f1.
I'm not using any form of joystick, just mouse/keyboard so I'm slightly at a loss as to how I'm getting this error.
I DID cancel the first build since updating so could that have somehow broken something?
EDIT: I've removed all aspects the MobileJoystick folder for now and it now builds. Not sure what's causing it?
@TayannaStudios An error on my part. Apologies. Yes, removing the template will remedy it for now, but I will address this shortly. Thanks the alert.
