• The order in the hierarchy is not a reliable way of sorting drawing orders - in my experience it can be kind of random. Try changing the "Sort Order" value in the Canvas component.

  in DialogueUI draw order Comment by ChrisIceBox November 2017
• AC already has its own visual scripting tool, and I wouldn't recommend switching to another immediately.  AC does work with Playmaker, but it's intended to be supplemental, rather than a replacement.  There is no official integration for "Bolt&…

• 1. A Sorting Map will always set a character's sorting order or layer name, but if you give all of its areas the same value, then the character's sorting order / layer name will remain the same. 2. I'm afraid I'm going to need more detail.  You're …

• Sure - it'll be in the next release.  I'm reluctant to expose it as a public variable, but you'll be able to amend it at the top of the Resource.cs file.

• Where in the script?  Reference line numbers are always necessary when debugging code. That should go in your Run() function, but it looks like something else has been removed, perhaps a closing brace. A tutorial on writing custom Actions can be f…

  in Set cursor on Start Comment by ChrisIceBox November 2017
• It'll be out this week. Any custom Action needs to have the actual "perform" code (in this case, the SimulateClick call) in it's Run function.  The code you posted shows it in ShowGUI, which - as the comment shows - is used for the actual…

• Generally speaking, I'd advise using AC for prototyping and Unity UI for final design.

• @themightyzq: Odd.  Thanks for posting, I'll look into it and let you know if I need more info.

  in Version 1.60 - 2.5D background changes, performance improvements Comment by ChrisIceBox November 2017
• I certainly hope all those who write with capitals do it for the same reason! It is, however, still related to limiting your re-orderable inventory by category. Do the issues occur if the player is no longer carrying items from category 2 (i.e. th…

  in 2 separate inventorys are interlinked somehow (bug) Comment by ChrisIceBox November 2017
• Looks like the "ActionList when turn off" will not run if the Menu hasn't faded in completely - I'll address this.

  in Change HotspotLabel position at runtime Comment by ChrisIceBox November 2017
• I was a user of AGS for many years, so I know the masking feature you're referring to.  However, when working in Unity it becomes much more appropriate to separate "walk-behinds" into separate images instead. In order to get correct order…

• Thanks - yes, it's an issue with Unity 5.6 and later.  It'll be fixed in AC v1.60.3.

  in Very imprecise navmesh after update Comment by ChrisIceBox November 2017
• Welcome to the community, @lemm82. I prefer to keep the "Max number of slots" field as a slider to make the UI more user-friendly.  What would you like it to be raised to? Incidentally, you can change the value manually by editing the Me…

  in More than 30 inventory slots? Comment by ChrisIceBox November 2017
• AC won't like being moved because has a few hard-coded references to it's intended directory, but in hindsight that's not really best-practice.  I'll amend things so that only one string references it, so that you can amend it if necessary.

  in Optimizing compile time Comment by ChrisIceBox November 2017
• No problem, thanks for the update.  I'll see if I can recreate the issue and improve things if there is no LookAt child assigned.

  in Camera Zoom Transition? Comment by ChrisIceBox November 2017
• I don't think you've understood the purpose of AC's simulating features here.  It won't simulate Unity's raw inputs, but instead AC's own internal input detection. You don't need a script to read Unity.GetKeyDown - that's what Active Inputs do for …

  in Button simulating input with action list? Comment by ChrisIceBox November 2017
• Please provide screenshots when describing visual problems. Have you checked Always fit within screen? in the Menu's properties, and have you defined an appropriate RectTransform boundary?

  in Force Aspect Ratio and UI Menu Comment by ChrisIceBox November 2017
• It always impresses me how you guys invent new logic processing with variables and Actions! Personally, I'd probably approach it through scripting - a custom trigger that reads the object's position when entering.  A dot product between the Trigger…

  in Is there a way to only trigger a Trigger when entering from 1 side? Comment by ChrisIceBox November 2017
• Sure.  Also be aware that any changes you make to Manager fields are kept when the game is exited, so you'll need to also set them to their default values when the game begins.  You can do this with custom Actions placed in your game's "ActionL…

  in Set cursor on Start Comment by ChrisIceBox November 2017
• 1. If the Is visible? toggle is checked, it won't work - it needs to be visible but hidden from view (e.g. with zero size).  However, I'll be adding the feature I mentioned in the next update which will be out soon. New icons can be added in the Cu…
