I have some other combatant in some scenes where I can interact to trade and exchange items.
However, if I change scene their inventories refilled all the times.

How can I save proper items and quantities for all combatants?

Thanks if someone could help.

If the other combatant not set up as a shop:
Menus -> Save Game Menu -> Save Settings -> Spawned Combatants set to "All".

If it is a shop, then:
World -> Shops -> "Your Shop's Name" -> Base Settings -> check "Save Shop"
and Menus -> Save Game Menu -> Save Settings -> Save Shops set to "Save"

Hi Ondatr,

Thank you so much for your advice.

I did both of your suggestions, still getting same result.
The NPC inventory still reset if change scene or quit game.

Any other idea?

Thanks again for your time.

Ondatr

Maybe the NPC is respawning with the scene load?

bomobee

I think so, the NPC is respawning with the scene load.

Do you know how to block it to be re-spawned?

Thanks a lot.

Ondatr

Why is it respawned in the first place? What is your setup for this NPC?

bomobee

I set it up as an ally combatant.
No Move AI, Battle AI, just a plain NPC with some start inventory that I can interact to exchange items only.

I noticed all combatants in my project always re-spawned even if I chose the Save Spawn Combatant option in save settings to All.

I also put the NPCs into the scenes directly, and use Add Combatant component instead of combatant spawnpoint but the same result.

You'll have to use a Combatant Spawner with Remember Combatants enabled and a set ID (Get New ID button).

Thanks a lot GIL.
It works now!

Ork Framework is not only great asset but your support also great.
I'm appreciated.

Hi GIL,

I checked the Remember Combatant box, including pressed the Get New ID button already.
But after testing several times I found that if I change scene or load the game from menu screen without quitting the game, the NPC inventory was saved and loaded correctly.

But once I quit the game and start loading game from the main menu, the NPC inventory reset again.

Please advise would be appreciated.

Hi GIL,

I change to use Item Box instead of combatant.
Now, I can trade/exchange items and it works fine.

So, i marked this discussion as solved.

Thanks.

Great :)

In case you want to use the other system again - make sure the Spawned Combatants setting in Menus > Save Game Menus is set to All to save all spawned combatants with a save game.

bomobee

Hi GIL,

Yes, I did set the Spawned Combatants to All in the save game menus but the result was the same.
Loading a save game from menu screen works fine, the inventory of combatant not reset, but if quit to main menu and load a save game the combatant inventory always reset.

I am not sure if I did something wrong, will try to find out.

Thanks a lot.

I'll look into it.

Thanks a lot.
