Hi, everyone! Happy 2021!
So, what's the best way to handle multiple item categories when writing your game in Articy:Draft? Should I add a "category" property to the "Item" entity's template?
Does anybody think using it to export files to a project that uses Dialogue System and Adventure Creator could be a bad idea?

Hi,
Quite a few games use articy:draft, Dialogue System, and Adventure Creator (AC) together. It's a good combination.
Adding a category property is also a good way to handle multiple item categories. The only catch is that AC doesn't import articy:draft, so you won't be able to translate those articy entities into AC items.

Would using commands like acSetItemCount("itemName", value) in the Dialogue fragment's Stage Command text field work?Adding a category property is also a good way to handle multiple item categories.

acSetItemCount is one of the AC Lua functions, so you'll want to use it on an output pin or a instruction node:CodePrincess wrote: ↑Sun Jan 10, 2021 9:58 pmWould using commands like acSetItemCount("itemName", value) in the Dialogue fragment's Stage Command text field work?
The screenshot above shows both types of places where you can put the Lua code. If you put it in the dialogue fragment's output pin, you don't need to add an instruction node.
(Use input pins for Lua code for the Conditions field.)
Articy expects code to be in their custom articy:expresso language, so it will flag it as unrecognized code, but the Dialogue System will work with it just fine.
