Hi,

I know it sound trivial but I've tried to open the Journal window on a different ways and I haven't been succesfull.
Neither with "set active = true" nor with the command you have on the method in the demo scene; questjournal.toggle...

Any ideas? Thanks

Hi,

If the Quest Journal component's UI Settings > Quest Journal UI field is unassigned, it will use the journal UI on the "Quest Machine" GameObject. This is the recommended configuration.

Does your scene have a "Quest Machine" GameObject? The "Quest Machine" prefab contains a canvas that has several UIs, including a journal UI.

When you call QuestJournal.Toggle(), does the GameObject "Quest Machine / Quest Machine Canvas / Quest Journal UI" become active? If it becomes active but it's not visible, then maybe the position of the window got changed. If you're in VR or AR, remember that Screen Space - Overlay canvases are not visible in VR/AR. You'll need to change the canvas to Screen Space - Camera or World Space, and adjust its settings so it's visible by your camera.

Please feel free to post screenshots of your configuration, or send them to tony (at) pixelcrushers.com, or send an example scene that demonstrates the issue. I'll be happy to take a look.

Fixed!

Hi,

I have moved my Journal Panel to my Canvas (It's NOT in the Don't destroy on load) and I`ve assigned it on the Quest Machine but I have the following issue.

Once the game starts, the Quest Machine' filed: Quest Journal UI lost his reference to the Journal Panel UI, and therefore the panel doesn't work. It shows up (I call the ToggleUI) but it doesn't show up the quests (it's empty).
The extrange thing it's that it was working fine but I changed a few things on the canvas and now the panel it's empty. (I cheched on the Hierarchic and I can see its active but the scroll panel its empty when I have quests on the Journal.
My Journal its on a gameobject on the scen also (NOT in Don't destroy on load)

Any ideas? It's not possible to have the canvas on the scene? It has to be on the "Don't destroy on load" ?

Hi,

It's OK for the Quest Journal to be in the scene and NOT Don't Destroy On Load. That is the normal configuration.

If the journal UI is NOT Don't Destroy On Load, and if you load a saved game, then the Quest Machine GameObject will lose its reference to the journal UI. This may be OK, though. In this case, assign the journal UI directly to the Quest Journal's UI Settings.

Ok, I tried that also, but I can't assign the journal UI directly to the Quest Journal's UI Settings because it says: IU Quest Dialog instead of IU Quest Journal. May be a bug? If not, I can't assign the component on that field.

That's a bug in version 1.0.7. I'll PM you a download link to the 1.0.8 beta very soon.

Regarding this issue... would be great to have an option in QuestJournal.cs that finds the QuestJournalUI component on the scene and apply it.
Sometines on my game either the Canvas Quest Journal UI or the Quest Machine are in "Don't destroy in load" and I lose the refence. Should be a solution witout references in the inspector. Any idea / update? I may modify the code to assign the component at the start

EDIT: But I have tried this on override onenable() and it doesn't work:
questJournalUI = GameObject.FindObjectOfType<UnityUIQuestJournalUI>();
