Adding a continue game button to main menu

SoundGuy

My main menu is in a scene that doesn't load AC yet.

I want ot check AC's savegame system to see if there is a save game (I'm assuming by checking in AC.SaveSystem.GetNumSlots() is greater than 0 -- is there a more elegant way?)

 and then calling AC.SaveSystem.ContinueGame();

which prefab do i need to add to this non AC scene so the save system will be already operatoins? or what function in AC do i need to call to initialize it.?

SoundGuy

or -  should i just make my MainMenu an AC scene too?

ChrisIceBox

Yes, just make it an AC scene.

I encountered a strange behaviour when I turned this into an AC scene - 

the following scene did not load the Unity UI prefabs. 

I have no idea how or why this would happen. 
when i removed the AC stuff from the scene and tried again - the Unity UI Prefabs loaded fine in the following scenes. I did not fully research it yet. any suggestions what i should look for?

I had similar issue. Then I compared the scenes I notice I didn't have one obect in my hierarchy, don't remember what it was, I thinkit was GameEngine...

SoundGuy

@skytree i have that in both scenes

Your UIs should be loaded in the first AC scene, and then survive future scene changes.  Are they loading in the first scene?

SoundGuy

the UI is loaded in the first scene and goes away in the second scene.

i origianlly created that second scene without AC folder strustuce but even if i add a _UI Gameobject it still disappears when loading that scene.

SoundGuy

I tried going stratight from the menu to a scene that works if i start from it, the UI that's loaded in the menu scene goes away in that scene as well

Try removing the "_UI" GameObject from both scenes instead.  What version of Unity?

SoundGuy

5.2.3

I removed the _UI gameonest on the first two scenes  - it works, and even works when it's left in the third scene.
