A singleton “logger” MonoBehaviour that tracks player interactions, task progress, chat history, and idle time between tasks, then packages it all into an UploadDataDTO for AIRequest to send to Chat-Service

• Prefab: ActionManager, located in VR4VET/Components/ActionManager
• Required Components on the GameObject:
  • ActionManager.cs
  • IdleTimer
• Also requires to function properly:
  • Optional Grabber instances (for grab/release events)
  • A running Task system via WatchManager (defines Task.Task, Task.Subtask, Task.Step)
  • A chat/NPC AI implementation (to consume global chat logs)
  • A way to send the global chat logs (Handled by AIRequest.cs through AIConversationController.cs
  • Ideally Chat-Service running on a server somewhere

1. Scene Changes

   • Registers SceneManager.sceneLoaded → OnSceneLoaded
   • Writes scene.name into _uploadData.scene_name

2. Grab & Release

   • Finds all Grabber components in the scene at OnEnable()
   • Hooks onAfterGrabEvent → OnGrabEvent(Grabbable grabbable)
   • Hooks onReleaseEvent → OnReleaseEvent(Grabbable grabbable)

To add e.g. UI-button events:

• Register listeners in OnEnable()
• Unregister in OnDisable()
• Implement your handler methods on the same pattern.

• Hierarchy:

  Task (ScriptableObject)
   └─ Subtask (ScriptableObject)
       └─ Step (ScriptableObject)

• Initialization:

  • Call ActionManager.Instance.LogTaskHierarchy(taskList) after your TaskHolder has loaded or reset the list of tasks.
  • taskList should be a List<Task.Task> (as used in WatchManager and TaskHolder).

• Step Completion:

  • When a step is completed (typically from WatchManager.CompleteStep), call:

ActionManager.Instance.LogStepCompletion(finishedStep);

• finishedStep should be a reference to the completed Task.Step instance.

• Summary Generation:
  • To generate a progress summary (for display in the tablet UI, for example), call:

ActionManager.Instance.TaskSummary();

• The summary is stored in ActionManager.Instance.LatestSummary as an HTML-formatted string with colored progress stats

(this should be updated to Text Fields on gameObjects or the like... at least it shouldn't be in the ActionManager....

• Global Chat Logs:
  • Add messages via AddChatMessage(Message msg)
  • Retrieve via GetGlobalChatLogs()
• Message DTO:

  public class Message {
    public string role;    // e.g. "user" or "assistant"
    public string content;
  }

• AI Functionality Toggle:
  • Controlled by SetToggleBool(bool) / GetToggleBool()
  • Used by AI NPCs (e.g. “AIna” in ReceptionOutdoor scene) to determine if AI features are enabled

• Data Collector:
  • All info is built into _uploadData (type UploadDataDTO)
  • Sent to AIRequest when conversing with an NPC

• Recording Custom Actions:

  ActionManager.Instance.GetUploadData()
               .user_actions
               .Add("myCustomAction: details");
  // Optionally trim:
  // ActionManager.Instance.ShortenList(ActionManager.Instance.GetUploadData().user_actions, 20);

• Common Warnings:
  • “IdleTimer component not found…” → add IdleTimer to prefab
  • “Could not find step X” → ensure LogStepCompletion is called with the correct Step instance
• Resetting Logs for Tests:

  ActionManager.Instance.GetUploadData().user_actions.Clear();
  ActionManager.Instance.GetGlobalChatLogs().Clear();
  // or replace with new List<T>()
