Arcweave Problem with assignment operator in arcscript

[Tony Li]

Hi,

That's a bug in the Dialogue System's importer, not in Arcweave. Consider not abandoning Arcweave just yet. Would you please send me the text of that Arcweave element? A screenshot of the node is fine, too. I'll send you a patch.

That was entirely my fault -- a bug in the importer, not in Arcweave. This patch should fix it:

DS_ArcweavePatch_2024-11-20.unitypackage

Thank you for your fast feedback! When I checked that patch and that works well!
I also have questions so I am writing this message.

1. When I use the If statement as shown below, the actor and conversant are not set properly, so when I click on it, I can see that the person I set as Player is set as Actor. However, the character set in Arcweave is a different character.

2. When entering multiple lines of Sequence like this, no matter how I enter them, they don't go into the Sequence. Is this not possible? (I've tried entering the Sequence one by one, and it does go in.)

Hi,

This patch fixes the first issue (actor assignments):

DS_ArcweavePatch_2024-11-20.unitypackage

I can't reproduce the second issue. As a test, please try a simpler two-line Sequence such as:

Code: Select all

[SEQUENCE: Delay(1)->Message(Done);
Delay(2)@Message(Done)]

Does this import correctly?

Also, be careful with {{default}}@Message(Done). At runtime, the {{default}} keyword will be replaced by the Dialogue Manager's Default Sequence. If the Default Sequence is only one line, it's fine. For example, if the Default Sequence is Delay({{end}}), then:

{{default}}@Message(Done) ---> Delay({{end}})@Message(Done)

However, if the Default Sequence has more than one line:

AudioWait(entrytag);
Delay(5)

Then {{default}}@Message(Done) will be replaced by:

AudioWait(entrytag);
Delay(5)@Message(Done)

In the example above, the AudioWait() command will run immediately. It won't wait for the Done message.

Thank you for solving issue #1 so quickly!
For issue #2, it was my mistake, and when I processed the example you sent me, I found it works fine, thank you!

Also, the additional advice was something I wasn't paying attention to at all, so thank you for mentioning it.
May I ask if there is a way to wrap everything that exists with the default Sequence, for {{default}}@Message(Done)?

May I ask if there is a way to wrap everything that exists with the default Sequence, for {{default}}@Message(Done)?

You can add a Sequencer Shortcuts component to your Dialogue Manager. Example:

shortcutsOnDone.png (67.54 KiB) Viewed 90 times

Then you can include the {{shortcut}} in your sequence, like:

Code: Select all

ShowCharacter(A, 1, 1, 0, default, true)->Message(Done);
{{defaultdone}}

The Dialogue System will replace {{defaultdone}} with the value of the shortcut, so this will become:

Code: Select all

ShowCharacter(A, 1, 1, 0, default, true)->Message(Done);
AudioWait(entrytag)@Message(Done);
Delay(2)@Message(Done)

Understood! Thank you for your kind response!

I had quite many questions and difficulties, and I really appreciate the answers you gave me, thank you so much!

Glad to help!
