Adventure Creator. Back to back conversation don't play

Post by DragoonHP »

If I have two conversation listed back to back in a an action list, only the first one plays and the second one just gets skipped as if it wasn't even there.
If I had it listed in another action list, and jump to that action list using the AC sequencer, it plays perfectly.

Do you know what might be causing this?

PS: The conversation are from the same database

Would you please import the latest Adventure Creator Support package? (It's also on the Extras page.)

I don't think this will fix your issue by itself, but at least we'll be on the same page. I just tested back-to-back conversations in an AC actionlist, and it seems to work fine. Here's an example that I tested:

This seemed to fix the issue but there's a one more issue.

If there is any other action entry after the last conversation (other than a conversation), those doesn't play if the game has been loaded from a save file.

Steps:
* Have an action list with four entries at least. Conversation 1 > Set Variable > Conversation 2 > Set Variable.
* Make two save files; one during conversation 1 and one during conversation 2
* Finish the entire conversation. Both variables get set correctly.
* Load Conversation 1 save file. Finish the entire action list. Everything works.
* Load Conversation 2 save file. Second set variable won't set

Hey Tony.

Did you have a chance to look at this?

Hi,

I'm so sorry, I thought I was waiting for a followup reply from you, but my original reply didn't get posted for some reason. I had some questions because I wasn't sure how to reproduce this the same as you.

How are you saving during conversations?

Did you add a Conversation State Saver component to a GameObject?

What is the AC game state when you open AC's pause menu? By default, if the player is involved then the state will be DialogOptions, which doesn't allow saving.

It's completely fine Tony. Happened to me more times than I would like to admit too. :oops:

I have added it to Dialogue Manager

I have set AC to allow saving during Conversation. AC Game Editor > Settings > Interface Settings > Allow regular gameplay during Conversations

I'm sorry I'm running behind on this. I'll answer as soon as I can. I've been recovering from the flu and haven't been able to think straight.
