[Solved!] Loading a Game at the last Dialogue Entry Read

Good afternoon, everybody!
So, I made my menus able to save-mid conversation, but it doesn't automatically start the loaded game with the conversation running at the last entry read. Should I ask how to find out which conversation is active, and the ID of the currently running entry via script, or is there a more direct way to achieve the same results?
Besides Dialogue System for Unity v 2.2.7, I'm also using Adventure Creator v. 1.71.7, if that's important.

Hi,
What if you add a ConversationStateSaver component to the Dialogue Manager? I haven't actually tested this with AC, but I think it should work depending on how you're setting up saved games.

It... looks like I have added one already. Why Didn't it...
Oh! Okay, I just needed to run the load action list through a script with one of those OnFinishLoading() methods.
Oh. Oh, no.
Big stack overflow. Wait, why would my load script-
Code: Select all
public void LoadTheGame()
{
Debug.Log("DialogueProgressManager.LoadTheGame(): Attempting game load.");
int slot = AC.GlobalVariables.GetIntegerValue(slotindex); // 8 = AC var "save Slot Index"
PersistentDataManager.LevelWillBeUnloaded();
var saveSystem = FindObjectOfType<SaveSystem>();
if (saveSystem != )
{
if(SaveSystem.DoesSaveExist(slot) == true)
{
SaveSystem.LoadGame(slot);
Debug.Log("DialogueProgressManager.LoadTheGame(): Game loaded.");
}
else { DialogueManager.ShowAlert("Save a game first."); }
}
}
- cause a stack overflow?!

If I understand you correctly, when it finishes loading it calls LoadTheGame(). But LoadTheGame() calls SaveSystem.LoadGame(), which starts the load process again, creating an infinite loop.
Have you added a Remember Dialogue System component to your Dialogue Manager?
Try these components on the Dialogue Manager:
- Dialogue System Controller, Input Device Manager (the usual)
- Save System, Json Data Serializer, PlayerPrefs Saved Game Data Storer, Dialogue System Saver, Conversation State Saver
- Adventure Creator Bridge, Remember Dialogue System
I don't think you'll need your load script if you have those components.

... Okay, and check Remember Dialogue System's "Retain in prefab?" check box and ...it works!
Whoo! Thanks again, Mr. Li!
