Events with TopDown Engine

I'm starting a new project using the TopDown Engine and the Dialogue System. I'd like to avoid having a muddle of different kinds of events. There appear to be at least four options:
  • C# events
  • UnityEvents
  • MMEvents
  • Dialogue System Events
Is it possible to limit myself to just one? Which?

Aha! There was a trigger collider on the colliding Player object. I'm not sure why, but when I disabled it the problem went away and no new problems appeared, so I'll declare victory.

No, wait, there's only one trigger collider. I can tell because when I disable it I don't get any messages from OnTriggerEnter methods.

Is this another one of those zany situations where the trigger is somehow entered twice?

I don't see any, but I do notice a "2" next to message printed in the console by my other script. It turns out "collapse" was turned on.

So ... if that's happening twice, maybe I do have two colliders. I'll keep looking.

Dialogue System: Another conversation is already active. Not starting 'New Conversation 1'.

I'd like conversations to start when the player walks up to an NPC. This is almost working perfectly. However, I am getting this warning: Dialogue System: Another conversation is already active. Not starting 'New Conversation 1'. UnityEngine.Debug:LogWarning (object) PixelCrushers.DialogueSystem.Dia...

Re: Spawning and unspawning objects with MM Inventory System

I got it working. The answer is:

Both savers are needed.

They can be on the same component.

They need to have different keys.

Re: Spawning and unspawning objects with MM Inventory System

Is this in addition to or instead of the SpawnedObjectManager? If it's both, should they be attached to the same GameObject?

Re: Spawning and unspawning objects with MM Inventory System

Update: reuno of More Mountains says: "destroying objects at runtime comes at a cost, disabling is free"

This is backed up here:

So: how do I get disabled object to not be saved?

Spawning and unspawning objects with MM Inventory System

I'm using the Dialogue System with More Mountains' TopDown Engine and Inventory System. Previously, thanks to an enormous amount of help from Tony Li, I was able to get inventories to persist between scenes: https://www.pixelcrushers.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5849 My next task is to get pick...
