Setting Personal Affinity - but database not updated

Hi,
In script I'm using "factionMember.SetPersonalAffinity(factionID, 0f)", to set a relationship with a NPC that the player meets in the game. But when I use factionMember.faction.relationships.Count to loop through all relationship the player has, the new relationship is not included. How can I solve this issue?
(I can see in the Unity Editor that the relationship is establised under the player/faction member - NPC added to the relationship, but the relationsship is not updated in the FactionDatabase.)

Hi,
Here are a few things to check:
- Are there any errors or warnings in the Console window?
- Does your scene have a GameObject with a FactionManager component?
- Is your faction database assigned to the FactionManager component?
- Is a valid faction assigned to the FactionMember component associated with your factionMember variable?

Hi,
Is "factionID" (the subject faction) valid?
In a copy of Love/Hate's Example scene, I added a test script with this method to the Princess GameObject:
Code: Select all
void Update()
{
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.F1))
{
var subjectID = FactionManager.instance.GetFactionID("Player");
GetComponent<FactionMember>().SetPersonalAffinity(subjectID, 69);
}
}
When I start the scene, the Princess's relationships look like this:
- before.png (48.48 KiB) Viewed 1987 times
After I press [F1], it looks like this:
- after.png (49.37 KiB) Viewed 1987 times
If that doesn't help, can you send a
reproduction project to tony (at) pixelcrushers.com?

Thanks for the reply.
I get the same behaviour as you describes - the new relationship is added as you show, but the problem is that when I use factionMember.faction.relationships.Count the new relationship is not included. Do you know why?

Is it maybe an issue with where you're checking Count?
I set the test Update method to this:
Code: Select all
void Update()
{
if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.F1))
{
var member = GetComponent<FactionMember>();
Debug.Log(member.faction.relationships.Count);
var subjectID = FactionManager.instance.GetFactionID("Player");
member.SetPersonalAffinity(subjectID, 69);
Debug.Log(member.faction.relationships.Count);
}
}
And it prints this to the Console:
In other words, the Princess has 3 relationships before adding the relationship to the Player, and 4 relationships after.

Thanks for the help - I see now what caused my problem. I set the relation in one script and do the count in another script. When I do the count in the same script as I set the relation, the count is correct.
