quest HUD double entries

Post by Arcanor »

I'm having an issue where when I Track a quest from the Runic Quest Log window, I'm getting double entries in my quest HUD. Here is a screenshot:

On further investigation, this appears to be related to the UnityUIQuestTracker's "Show Active Quests" toggle. If I turn it off, I no longer get the doubling, and it works fine.

When the quest tracker HUD updates, it only loops through the quests once, so it shouldn't be able to add two entries by itself.

Do you perhaps have two instances of the UnityUIQuestTracker script in your Dialogue Manager GameObject hierarchy? It looks like you're using the Generic Unity UI Quest Tracker HUD for now. It has a UnityUIQuestTracker script on it; you don't need to add another one to the Dialogue Manager itself.

Or do you have two quests with the same name in your database?

That would be the reason. I've got one UnityUIQuestTracker that I added to my Dialogue Manager (as it says to do in the documentation at http://www.pixelcrushers.com/dialogue_s ... HUDUnityUI), and there's also one in the HUD prefab. I've disabled the one in the HUD prefab and all's well. Thanks Tony.

The new documentation looks good to me. Thanks again Tony!
