Custom Lua function helper not showing in Editor UI

[danieltorok]

Hello!

I wanted to add a custom Lua action as a state action, however If I choose Lua -> Custom, the custom helpers are not showing in the editor. The non-custom Lua options from the drop down are all showing their associated helpers.

Is this not supported for custom actions?

Hi,

Did you set up a Custom Lua Function Info asset?

Hello,

Yes I did, It is even working with Dialogue System. When I say the custom Lua functions not showing I'm talking about not just mine, but the integration custom functions like PlayMaker's FSMEvent etc. There is just an empty space.

If I did the setup for Dialogue System and it is working fine there, do I need additional setup if I want to use the same custom Lua functions in Quest Machine?

So I started to debug this. I noticed a significant code duplication in LuaScriptWizard.cs . There are two variants of the method DrawScriptItem, with seemingly the same content. One is called by Quest Machine the other by Dialogue System.

The Dialogue System variant uses EditorGUILayout.BeginHorizontal() and EndHorizontal(), the Quest Machine variant uses GUI.BeginGroup() and EndGroup().

I modified the function used by Quest Machine to look like the one used by Dialogue System and it is now working, only the placement is odd.

I can confirm that Custom works with the Lua quest condition, but not the Lua quest action. I'll get this fixed in the next release.

In the meantime, you can get it working (but not as pretty) by commenting out these two lines in LuaScriptWizard.cs:

• Line 1088: //GUI.BeginGroup(position);
• Line 1148: //GUI.EndGroup();

The custom dropdown values will appear below the wizard section instead of in-line where they belong, but you'll be able to set them and click Apply.
