XML Import Problem with Articy:Draft - 'ConditionNode' is not a valid value

Hey there - been using the Articy:Draft import feature for a while now, and up until today everything's been working great!

I've been adding a LOT more branching and conditional states into my game for the past month or so without importing it into Unity. In a previous export from February, there were no problems with importing into Unity, but my latest XML export from A:D gives the following error (I tried exporting this as a text file and attaching it, but it wouldn't let me, so I guess I have to copy/paste here :P):
InvalidOperationException: Instance validation error: 'ConditionNode' is not a valid value for TypeOfJourneyPointType.

I have a sneaking suspicion that I simply didn't connect some of my links correctly within the Articy:Draft flow, but maybe you'll have better insight than me. Let me know if you need any additional screenshots or whatever to help troubleshoot. In the meantime, I'll be trawling through my A:D project to see if I missed anything that might be causing this issue.

Thanks!

Hi there - just wanted to follow up and let you know I found the problem by diving into the error code I'd posted.

As it turns out, the error was on line 52102 of the XML
import_error_problem_line.png
import_error_problem_line.png (30.17 KiB) Viewed 523 times
Going there, I found the problem node's ShortId, did a search for it in A:D, and found that it was actually a node inside an Articy:Draft "Journey" that I had saved a while back - one that had a misnamed variable in it (and one that I had corrected/changed in the actual flow). I guess the XML export contained the "Journey" along with everything else (which servers no purpose in Unity - I will make a note to not include those from now on!), but the importer didn't know how to handle the misnamed variable (or the node that contained it, either one I guess), which caused the error.

Anyway, I deleted the Journey, re-exported the same exact way I had previously, and viola - everything imported fine.

Hopefully someone might find this useful if they run into this someday!

You only had go through 52106 lines? ;-) Thank you for taking the time to write this up. I'll make sure the next version handles this case.
