Title: Sub scene in a window
Post by: ylegrand on September 02, 2017, 01:59:21 PM

Good afternoon again!

First, sorry to spam the forum lately, I feel like I'm the only one struggling :)

Let me explain what I want to achieve: I have a scene in which there is a shop. I perfectly can create another scene for inside the shop, but for the technical challenge I tried to include the "inside the shop" scene as inside a window. A small screenshot can explain it better:

I perfectly manage to include talking and not talking entities thanks to the entity containers, and to interact with them.

But (there is a but) I have mainly 2 problems:

• I'm not able to store this window in session, so every time I open it seems to create a new entity of my window.
• When my window is open, I'm not able to access it in the scripts attached to its entities. Eg : in the "saler" script, I want to access another entity of my window.

Could you please confirm if my goal is inline with the WME window regular purpose? If yes, do you have any advice?

I intentionally omitted to publish the scripts, but if necessary I will share them with you.

Thanks a lot for your time :)
