Animated portraits not working between scenes on the VN novel framework

[Boydy111]

Hi

I'm running into an issue when changing scenes with animated portraits

When i change scenes by sequencer command while continuing the conversation into the other scene, the animator for the character cant be found after i advance a node

Ive tried having the dialogue actor component be DoNotDestroy so it would be the same referenced object no matter what scene but this has failed to work also, before this i had a object where i stored all my dialogue actors in each scene.

Hi,

Don't Destroy On Load should have worked for that. What error message do you see?

it might also be worth noting i got over 800 of these warning messages

Is it definitely on the animated portrait image? In other words, you're not using AnimatorPlayWait() for other purposes, too, such as animating a character model?

When this happens, temporarily pause the game and check the portrait image GameObject. Is an animator controller assigned to its Animator component?

[Boydy111]

There's no animator component that's been assigned, currently it doesnt actually work for any animators while im using the DontDestoryOnload version

As for AnimatorPlayWait(), ive not used that anywhere in the nodes for this scene, Would you prefer if i sent you a Repro-project?

[Tony Li]

Yes, please. Send a reproduction project to tony (at) pixelcrushers.com and I'll check it in the morning. (I've finished work for the night.)

[Boydy111]

Will do, thank you for your continued help as always

[Boydy111]

Yes, please. Send a reproduction project to tony (at) pixelcrushers.com and I'll check it in the morning. (I've finished work for the night.)

Just in reply to this, i fixed the issue, i did have a AnimatorPlayWait and i also had a duplicate of the actor in the scene, my bad

Regardless, thank you for your time, these things happen i suppose

I'm just glad you found the issue and were able to fix it. Thanks for the update!
