Switch database

[perezbalen]

Hi

I'm trying to get two different databases to work in the same game.
I understand I must add the Extra Databases component to the object with the Dialogue system controller. But how do I switch, during game, the database that the controller controls?

Hi,

Both databases will be loaded at the same time. So it's important that their internal IDs don't conflict. Please see Working With Multiple Databases.

If I understand correctly, I don't need to change the database, as I could trigger any conversation (from either database) with just the name?

[Tony Li]

Yes, that's correct.

Thanks.
I understand that one db is better, but the reason I’m using two is that I have conversations that trigger unity events. But I’m also using Articy:draft. And when I import, the unity events are gone. (As I understand it, the importer overwrites the db?). So, what I do is that I have a db with the conversations that trigger the events, and another with the ones that don't. And I use articiy for the ones that don’t.
Is there a way to keep the unity events when importing from articy:draft? Cause that would make my management less messy.

Hi,

No; that's why it's recommended to not use UnityEvents when using external editors such as articy:draft. Instead, use sequencer commands if possible.
