Hello,

First of all, I just bought this asset and it has been working great!
This has significantly reduced my workload for creating my game.

I just encounter an issue where my save data does not reflect my changes in my database.

Scenario:

create a quest entry with incorrect variable information
- e.g.
  Code: Select all
```
Collect fruit [var=]/2
```
run game
activate the corresponding quest and entry
- entry should look like
  Code: Select all
```
Collect fruit nil/2
```
save the game (using dialogue system save system)
update the quest entry
- e.g.
  Code: Select all
```
Collect fruit [var=fruit]/2
```
- fruit varialble is defined in database
run game
load game

Expected:

Code: Select all

Collect fruit [var=fruit]/2

Actual:

Code: Select all

Collect fruit nil/2

Note:

if you activate the quest normally instead of loading after step 6, the correct quest entry is displayed
same issue is encountered when I changed the variable name

Is the behavior above expected?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Best Regards,

Hi,

If you're using the save system, make sure you've added a DialogueSystemSaver component. Also inspect the Dialogue Manager GameObject and ensure that Persistent Data Settings > Initialize New Variables is ticked.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply!

If you're using the save system, make sure you've added a DialogueSystemSaver component. Also inspect the Dialogue Manager GameObject and ensure that Persistent Data Settings > Initialize New Variables is ticked.

Unfortunately, the two items you mentioned are already applied.
At first, Let me check if I can reproduce this in a smaller environment.

That would be very helpful. If you can put together a small reproduction project, please send it to tony (at) pixelcrushers.com.
