MANUAL CONVERSATION LINK TO PROCEDURALLY GENERATED CONVERSATION

[Sumosake]

Hey Tony,

Attempting to Link a manually created conversation (MC) to a procedurally generated conversation (PGC). The (PGC) is successfully being Linked but the QUEST REFERENCE TAGS are not being resolved.

I've verified that a procedurally generated quest (PGQ) is being created as I see it in the inspector of the QuestListContainer and the QuestGiver components quest area.

If I trigger the (PGC) directly; the conversation appears and the (QRT) are resolved. The GameObject that I use to trigger the (PGC) directly has these game components:

TriggerEvent
QuestListContainer
QuestGeneratorEntity
XPRewaredSystem
QuestGiver

There are differences with my GameObject that I use to trigger the (MC) to (PGC). I use Usable, DialogueActor, BarkOnIdle, some Love/Hate Components as well as the above listed components. Main difference is that I use DialogueSystemTrigger (OnUSE) to start the( MC ) instead of TriggerEvent.

I found a solution in the forums stating to use as HasGeneratedQuest() in the Condition and ShowGeneratedQuestDialogue() in the Script area of the calling (MC), but this is not working for me… getting an Exception.

Dialogue System: Lua code 'ShowGeneratedQuestDialogue("Flynn", "Flynn")' threw exception 'Tried to invoke a function call on a non-function value. If you're calling a function, is it registered with Lua?'

Appreciate any help you can provide with this issue!

Hi,

Make sure your Dialogue Manager GameObject has a DialogueSystemQuestMachineBridge component with Process Quest Machine Tags ticked. As long as that's ticked, all conversations should process quest tags, including in procedurally-generated quests. If that's not the case in your project, can you send a reproduction project to tony (at) pixelcrushers.com?

The Lua function is ShowGeneratedQuestConversation(), not ShowGeneratedQuestDialogue(). If you use the "..." dropdown menu, you can select it without having to type it.

[Sumosake]

Yes, my Dialogue Manager GameObject has the DialogueSystemQuestMachineBridge component with Process Quest Machine Tags ticked as well as OverrideQuestLog ticked.

Firm believer of using the dropdown menu and not manually typing things in.... However, I do not have ShowGeneratedQuestConversation() as an option to select. Did I miss something in setup?

So, I manually Changed the Script section of the Conversation Node to ShowGeneratedQuestConversation; exception is gone but the Quest Reference Tags are still not resolved when the (PGC) begins.

I do see: Dialogue System: Registering Lua function ShowGeneratedQuestConversation in the Console when I run the game.

Thanks

Hi,

ShowGeneratedQuestConversation will be in the Custom section of the "..." dropdown.

Which specific Quest Machine tags aren't being resolved?

[Sumosake]

Please seen attached Screen Print

Thanks

Hi,

Are you using the current version of the integration? That may have been fixed in a recent update to the integration. It's correct in the current version. The screenshot below shows the asset where the dropdown menu items are defined:

When I downloaded the current version of QM. I obviously failed to run the 3rd Party Support Intergration packages. I just did that and now the LUA dropdown menu shows. However, when I LINK to the (PGC) the QUEST REFERENCE TAGS are still not being resolved.

I assume I am stepping on myself here with this issue...

I use DS, DS AI addon, QM and L/H and INVECTOR.

I'm thinking about reinstalling each one; and applying the 3rd Party Support packages. Is there a certain product Install/update procedure I should be following?

thanks again for your time looking into this non-issue. Greatly appreciate it.

Hi,

Which specific reference tags aren't working?

[Sumosake]

Tony,

Sorry for the long winded reply but I wanted to show my details... I believe the issue is the Procedurally Generated Quest is not being added to the correct Component. ( QuestListContainer or QuestGiver)

Reference Tags:
{DOMAIN}
{TARGETDESCRIPTOR}
these TAGS resolve correctly when I call the conversation from a TriggerEvent component. OnTriggerEnter QuestGeneratorEntity.StartDialogueWithPlayer.

In my (MC) Linking to a (PGC) where I use: ShowGeneratedQuestConversation("Flynn", "Flynn") ** Flynn is the NPC QuestGiver **. I ran through the Debugger and noticed that the questGiver variable is always returning NULL. This is causing the
if (questGiver == null || quester == null) return; line to execute
which prevents the TryShowGeneratedQuestConversion Line to ever be reached.

In my condition the Procedurally Generated Quest is in the QUESTGIVER component but NOT in the QuestTListContainer.

Hope this helps...

Thanks

Hi,

What is the name of the GameObject that has the QuestGeneratorEntity component?

On that GameObject, what is the Quest Giver component's ID value?
