Solved - Diary Pickup

[palistov]

Hey guys I'm having an issue with diary pickups. I assign a callback for pickup to a Diary in the LevelEditor, but it won't open up the journal on pickup. I tried calling ReturnOpenJournal(true); but that did nothing.

Anyone know why the diaries won't open automatically?

wait, so when you grab the note it goes into your journal but doesn't automatically open?

in the entities tab in the editor there's a toggle that lets you set it to automatically open, try that.

Ok I'll look for it. It's not a note it's diary, and I've never seen that option. Thanks though I'll check it out

Hate to bump, but I'm still having this issue. For notes it works fine, but dairies won't open in the journal when I pick them up.

I think I might know why it might be:

When you pick the diary up, it makes the sound of the journal opening and closing immediately. This is because all diary entries from the main game, rather than having an arrow to move to the next page or to exit the diary, are open based on how long it takes for Daniel to read them. Therefore, if you do not have any speech connected to them, it takes it as being a 0-character long note and closes it instantly. How to fix it, I don't know. But I think that is what causes it.

Interesting....bump until a dev can help us?

Anyways thanks buddy. Now that I know what the problem is I can try and fix it

Actually, I think I may have found a solution. Thanks for telling me what the issue was!
