Lua Observer not running Delegate

[Strig]

Hello, I'm trying to implement a system that detects where an NPC is supposed to be and places them in the correct area. The system works fine, but now I want to implement a symple fadeout in conjunction with Playmaker.

In order to do that, I added a Lua Observer to a simple script on the NPC:

Captura de Tela (47).png (18.73 KiB) Viewed 368 times

It gets the NPC's "CurrentLocation" field every time a conversation ends and then sends to the delegate:

Captura de Tela (48).png (19.34 KiB) Viewed 368 times

Which in turn is supposed to send an event to the FSM in Playmaker. But the delegate is doing nothing at all: even the Debug Log isn't appearing. The documentation didn't give me any answers in regards to this, so I wonder if I'm invoking the delegate in a wrong way.

I can also confirm that the Actor Field isn't the problem, as it's used for other functions and works just fine for those. The change being undetected is also a possibility, but I do know that the Field is changing because it's also being used for other things. Additionally, running it on Update also gave me no results.

Hi,

Try this line:

Code: Select all

DialogueManager.AddLuaObserver($"Actor[\"{DialogueLua.StringToTableIndex(nameNPC)}\"].CurrentLocation", LuaWatchFrequency.EndOfConversation, LocationChanged);

(Edit: Adding missing quotes.)

Hi, thanks for the quick answer!

I tried the code, but it throws an exception, as if the variable isn't on the Actor FIelds. But not only it is there, it even gets printed by other scripts without any problem.

Code: Select all

Dialogue System: Lua code 'return Actor[NPC.CurrentLocation]' threw exception 'Lookup of field 'CurrentLocation' in the table element failed because the table element itself isn't in the table.'

I forgot to add the quotes. Just fixed in my post above.
