I'm having trouble trying to use bolt to make a restart button, I don't know how to restart dialogue manger, I'm trying to destroy the dialogue manger, but it doesn't seem to work.

I'm now using a method to deal with the fact that we have Root0, Roo1, specific Scene0
Root0 ：setup All cross-scene objects include dialogue manager
Root1 I：t's designed to restart the game. - Destroy the dialogue manager in this scene.
Scene0 ：Reload the dialogue manager in this scene, as this is the specific first scene to restart the game into.
It's working now, but I don't know of a smarter way to do it.

Hi,
The recommended way to restart the Dialogue System is to call
PixelCrushers.SaveSystem.RestartGame:
Code: Select all
PixelCrushers.SaveSystem.RestartGame("startingScene");
This will reset the Dialogue System's data and load a starting scene.
If you don't want to load a starting scene, call these methods:
Code: Select all
ClearSavedGameData();
BeforeSceneChange();
SaversRestartGame();
(I'm showing examples in code, but you can make the same calls with Bolt.)

Looks like I'll have to use the save system, I've already implemented the restart in bolt.
I will have a related issue with AutoSaveLoad, I non just need to set it on the dialogue mannger to work automatically. But I'm developing a desktop game.

AutoSaveLoad is usually used for mobile games. You can use it for a desktop game, but desktop games instead typically have a main menu and save slots. You may want to use the free Menu Framework on the
Dialogue System Extras page if you're using a desktop game.

Thank you, Tony, I think AutoSaveLoad is a wonderful component, on the desktop as well.

Thanks! Please make sure to use Dialogue System version 2.2.10. It fixes a bug in AutoSaveLoad.

An AutoSaveLoad patch was available for the previous version, but I'm glad you could upgrade and get the fix in the official release version.
