Autosave not occur when calling from actionlist\interaction

Adventure4LifeS

Hi,

I'm using autosave for my game and I see some cases which the autosave didn't work (it looks like it's not saving)

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create two action lists 'AL_1' and 'AL_2' with all of their checkboxes in properties unchecked:
2. In 'AL2' - call autosave action (overwrite exsiting save->autosave)
3. Call 'AL_2' from 'AL_1'
4. Run the game, walk to other place in the room (and set some variables) and call 'AL_1'
5. Load autosave (Load game->autosave)
6. the game that was loaded wasn't the one which intended to be saved

• If I'm moving the autosave action to 'AL_1' instead, it works.
  however my game using autosave in many chained action lists
  and it might take me a while to find all the autosave references.

*Also, I tried to change 'AL_2' to interaction and the bug still occur

I'm using AC version: 1.71.8

PS
I'm about to launch a demo in 6 days, so better not update AC
also, I do looked on the release note and haven't see bug fix related to it.

Thanks!

When a save is succesful, the Console will report it - are you seeing the save message appear?

How are you calling AL_2 from AL_1? Try running AL_1 manually via the "Run now" button in its Inspector - does it then work?

Be aware that saving is only possible if you're not currently in a cutscene - with the exception being the ActionList that contains the Save: Save or load Action. It may be that the other ActionLists are still running at the time, causing saving to be blocked.

Try either replacing AL_2 with a Cutscene that has Autosave after? checked, or inserting an Engine: Wait Action before the save Action to wait for the other ActionLists to finish. A wait time of -1 will have it wait for a single frame.

Hi,

Sorry for my late reply.
Yes, the issue was exactly what you said, I had to add delay before calling
Save: Save or load action so other running actions will end.

Also, I launched the demo
thank you ICEBOX Studios and Chris for such a wonderfull plugin and support!

I've managed to make this demo from scratch with 1 hour of gameplay
and many customize features in 8 months all thanks to AC. way to go!

Here's link to the demo, you can try it, it's FREE:
