• I seem to recall an old thread where Chris said that this isn't trivial because the remember components themselves become inactive? And in fact, the saving system is not designed to save inactive objects or those that have been removed from the scen…

  in Remember component for Game Object active Comment by Rairun December 2023
• It doesn't. As soon as I close the prefab, the field says the object is 'missing'. And if I reopen the prefab, the object is still shown as missing (unlike what happens when AC has saved the ConstantID). When I run the game, the field changes to &qu…

  in ConstantID + Actionlist asset parameter Comment by Rairun December 2023
• It is, yes! In the editor, if I keep the scene-based cutscene open and delete the player object from the scene, I can see the ActionList: Run action switching the assigned parameter from the container object to 'missing'. And then If I click play, t…

  in ConstantID + Actionlist asset parameter Comment by Rairun December 2023
• If you copy/zip your project's folder, that's all you need to have a full working copy. There are no dependencies outside that folder. But I really, really can't recommend using a version control system enough. The studios where I've worked usually…

  in How do you "back-up" your project? Comment by Rairun December 2023
• Basically, you can add this script to any gameobject in the scene, and then you use the "send message" action to run a method within the script. Let me run you through the script so you understand what is going on: public Container lostAn…

  in "Add All" inventory items to Container? Comment by Rairun December 2023
• I'm not sure there is a very direct way of doing this with the default actions. But a simple custom script like this should do: using System.Collections;using System.Collections.Generic;using UnityEngine;using AC;public class ItemsUponDeath : MonoB…

  in "Add All" inventory items to Container? Comment by Rairun December 2023
• I generally rely on the "Transform Position" detection method instead, but I think that for the method you're using you need both a rigidbody AND a collider (I haven't tested this, but that's what the mouseover text for that option says). …

  in Trigger doesn't work Comment by Rairun December 2023
• Sorry for bumping such an old thread, but I thought I should highlight this is still a Unity issue in Nov 2023, and this thread was a life saver! I spent a long time today rewriting a script that resizes a scrolling TMPro speech bubble according to…

  in Little hiccup on first load of Unity UI Comment by Rairun November 2023
• AC's menu transitions don't communicate with each UI element to play their own individual animations. All they do is trigger the On/Off/OnInstant/OffInstant animations at the appropriate times. If you need to animate individual UI elements, what you…

  in Animating custom exit transitions for Unity UI prefab menus? Comment by Rairun November 2023
• I didn't, but nothing that creating a branch from an earlier commit didn't solve. Thanks! In case anyone else is looking for more info: no, a text search is not enough. It finds the backup data in the scene files just fine, but not in the actionlis…

  in New camera check action Comment by Rairun November 2023
• All you need to do is drag the button object from the prefab to the Linked Button field. It will record the ConstantID.

  in Replace ConstantID Comment by Rairun November 2023
• I use timeline to do this! I set up (for example) 3 audio sources, each linked to a different mixer group, and I assign each audio track in the timeline to one of those audio sources. The timeline is used to make sure the tracks are always in sync. …

  in Layered Music tracks and 'Sound type: Music' Comment by Rairun November 2023
• Thank you, Chris! I really appreciate it.

  in Pause and camera movement Comment by Rairun November 2023
• Sorry, it's been too long! The hidden variable was for a different effect. But I'm pretty sure I dealt with the walk-run issue somewhere in the thread above.

  in Enhanced Point and Click Method Comment by Rairun October 2023
• (Quote) I was dealing with something similar a while ago: https://www.adventurecreator.org/forum/discussion/13545/straight-to-cursor-movement-run-threshold#latest I solved it by using the hidden variable Chris added to PlayerMovement, which can be…

  in Enhanced Point and Click Method Comment by Rairun October 2023
• I can't switch at this point in development, but for future games, I'd be very happy to move to Godot if we had both Adventure Creator and Dialogue System in it. I would also consider Unreal, but with Godot we'd be sure this would never happen again.

  in Long term viability of Unity (and thus AC)? Comment by Rairun September 2023
• And if you want more properties, post-processing components, etc. of the attached camera to be used by the MainCamera, you can use something like this: using UnityEngine;using AC;public class AC_CameraIntegration : MonoBehaviour{ //AC main Camer…

  in Question on Main Camera Comment by Rairun August 2023
• I'm not sure why "Always fit within screen" isn't working. Chris should be able to advise you. But apologies, for some reason I thought we were talking about speech menus! To click outside the conversation menu to close it, I'd try someth…

  in Conversation menu (Above Player) Comment by Rairun August 2023
• (Quote) Under the conversation menu options, you can check "Always fit within screen?" (Quote) If I understand you correctly, you just want the menu to disappear when you click anywhere? If so, under the Speech manager options, you can se…

  in Conversation menu (Above Player) Comment by Rairun August 2023
• Yeah, looking great. Thanks for this!
