SendMessage not working on Unity 2017.2.0f3

[nishant]

Hi,
I had integrated your Dialogue System in my project few years back. Recently I upgraded my project to Unity 2017.2.0f3 and I guess it broke the dialogue system. Basically I have a dialogue with a sequence as follows.

'SendMessage(WakeUp,,GenericCharacter) ; AudioWait(Audio/Dialog/AI/Activating lumin therapy_01,DialogueAudioRegistrator);Delay(10.0)'

Audio is playing, but WakeUp method is not triggered. This used to work when I had implemented it.

Any idea what might have gone wrong ?

Thanks.

Hi,

Nothing has changed in the SendMessage() sequencer command. Are there any warnings in the Console window (or output log, if you're playing a build)? Maybe it's reporting that it can't find a GameObject named "GenericCharacter"? Or that the method signature for WakeUp has changed? For example, maybe WakeUp now requires a parameter.

Hi,
I double checked. Nothing has changed. The gameobject is present in the scene with same name. The script is present on that gameobject which has method 'WakeUp' with same method signature. I even tried to pass random text instead of gameobject's name hoping for error to pop-up but it didnt. It seems like SendMessage is not getting called.

Please temporarily set the Dialogue Manager's Debug Level to Info. Then reproduce the problem. Look in the Console output for this line:

Code: Select all

Dialogue System: Sequencer.Play( SendMessage(WakeUp, , GenericCharacter)@0 )

Then look immediately after that line. The next line (or nearby) should be:

Code: Select all

Dialogue System: Sequencer: SendMessage(WakeUp, , GenericCharacter (UnityEngine.Transform), )

However, there may be a warning instead. If so, the warning should indicate the problem.

If that doesn't help, please feel free to send a reproduction project to tony (at) pixelcrushers.com. I'll be happy to take a look.
