QuestJournal "already registered" when reloading scene

[jakecard]

Hi!

My game has a "main scene" which includes my QuestJournal. When I leave this scene and come back later, I get the following message:

Code: Select all

Quest Machine: A QuestListContainer with id 'quest-journal' is already registered. Can't register QuestJournal (PixelCrushers.QuestMachine.Wrappers.QuestJournal)

My QuestJournal lives on the same GameObject as my QuestMachineConfiguration, so it's a singleton that's kept alive between scenes, in case this helps.

Based on digging through the code, it looks like this error message is being caused by IdentifiableQuestListContainer.OnEnable() calling QuestMachine.RegisterQuestListContainer(this). This seems fairly straightforward and expected, so I assume I've set something up wrong (or that I should just ignore this error message or something). Could you please advise?

Hi,

Is the Quest Machine Configuration component's 'Allow Only Once Instance' checkbox still ticked?

Hi Tony,

Yep, it's still ticked. Here's a screenshot of the configuration game object in the inspector. Worth noting: I also put the QuestJournal component on this same object, since we don't have a "Player" game object. Let me know if this might be screwing things up.

Hi,

You aren't doing anything wrong. Turns out it's a script execution order issue. This patch should fix it:

Awesome, thanks Tony! Will installing this patch play nicely when future QuestMachine updates are released, or will I have to re-apply it every time or something?

[Tony Li]

It'll play nicely. It's already in the repository for the next regular version release.

Awesome, thanks a bunch Tony! Appreciate the fix

Glad to help!
