Parameter Boolean Problem

ZcheK

I set up a bool parameter in an actionlist prefab. When I call that actionlist from a scene actionlist the bool is set to 'false' by default, but appears to be returning 'true' unless I explicitly set it to 'false'.

Unity 2019 2.6f1
AC 1.69.2

Do you mean "ActionList asset" instead of "ActionList prefab"? Apologies for sounding pedantic, but this is an important difference.

By "explicity setting it to false", you mean with the ActionList: Set parameter Action?

I can't recreate such behaviour. Please share some screenshots so that I can follow more exactly.

Sorry I mean Actionlist asset, the one saved in the project menu rather than the scene.
I have a trigger in a scene which runs the ActionList asset and sets a bool parameter, by default it is false, however it will actually return true unless I click on the dropdown box and set it to false.

Do you mean that if you uncheck Set parameters? in the ActionList: Run Action, the bool parameter is set to True?

by default it is false

How is being set to false "by default"? Screenshots of the ActionList asset are welcome.

No I mean that if I check Set parameters and don't touch the bool parameter dropdown box for 'RetainSounds' it will display 'false' by default, however it appears to be calling 'true' unless I actually click on the dropdown box and specifically set it to 'false'. I've tested it on 3 scenes with the same result. However, it only seems to apply to older scene actionlists from previous versions of AC, if I create a new Actionlist: Run command then that unchanged default setting works.

Thanks for the clarification.

By "older scene ActionLists", are you referring to the ActionList that has the parameters, or the one that has the ActionList: Run Action? I appreciate this may be difficult to know, but are you aware of roughly which older AC version we're talking about?

That this happens with previously-created ActionLists is likely the reason I haven't been able to recreate. I think I'll need you to send me a test scene / asset files that clearly demonstrate the issue in order to be able to reliably experience it.
