[HOWTO] How To: Use Corgi / TopDown Engine MMSceneLoadingManager

[Tony Li]

In the scene, do you have more than one saver script whose Key is "MainInventory"?

If you're changing scenes, does the main inventory in the next scene have a corresponding InventoryEngineSaver with the same Key ("MainInventory")?

Are there any warnings or errors in the Console window?

No, yes, and yes:

I vaguely remember reading somewhere in the DS docs that something has to be named with hyphens. Could that relate to this?

Also, what goes in the key field for a DialogueSystemSaver? Should it be unique to the scene or should all scenes use the same one? I couldn't find documentation on this.

I hope I'm providing useful feedback and not just whining about my frustrations.

Make sure your Dialogue System Saver has a unique key, too.

[Peter Drake]

Unique in each level?

[Tony Li]

Hi,

No; you should have one Dialogue System Saver on your Dialogue Manager GameObject. I typically set its Key to "ds".
