I just got to a point where I could set-up the Watson Assistant V2 with Unity and trying to converse with an Assistant I created with a single Skill. I need further help to get the assistant set up to work with my Unity app.
In V1 of the assistant, it was possible to target a workspace and also the response was returning the intent, nodes visited so on. My queries were correctly processed and the responses were identical to the one on the "try it" application in the IBM cloud dashboard.
In the new version though, I am getting the same response for any query I send to the assistant. How can I target the right skill or rather pass correct settings to the assistant to get the correct responses?

The code I'm using to send queries and get responses is:
IEnumerator TokenExample()
{
// Create IAM token options and supply the apikey. IamUrl is the URL used to get the
// authorization token using the IamApiKey. It defaults to https://iam.bluemix.net/identity/token
TokenOptions iamTokenOptions = new TokenOptions()
{
IamApiKey = "API KEY",
IamUrl = "https://iam.bluemix.net/identity/token"
};
// Create credentials using the IAM token options
_credentials = new Credentials(iamTokenOptions, "https://gateway-fra.watsonplatform.net/assistant/api");
while (!_credentials.HasIamTokenData())
yield return null;
_assistant = new Assistant(_credentials);
_assistant.VersionDate = "2018-11-01";
Debug.Log(_assistant.GetServiceID()); // returns "AssitantV2"
}
public void PingAssistantV2() // triggered from a button press in UI
{
_assistant.CreateSession(OnCreateSession, OnFail, AssistantID); // Assistant ID is entered through the Inspector
}
public void OnCreateSession(SessionResponse response, Dictionary<string, object> customData)
{
Log.Debug("ExampleAssistantV2.OnMessage()", "Assistant: Create Session Response: {0}", customData["json"].ToString());
string _si = response.SessionId;
Debug.Log("SessionID: " +_si);
MessageInput mi = new MessageInput();
mi.Text = Query.textComponent.text; // get user query from an input field in unity UI
MessageRequest messageRequest = new MessageRequest()
{
Input = mi
};
Debug.LogFormat("<b> Query Sent: {0} </b>", Query.textComponent.text);
if (response.SessionId != null ) _assistant.Message(OnMessage, OnFail, AssistantID, _si, messageRequest);
}
private void OnMessage(MessageResponse AssistantResponse, Dictionary<string, object> customData)
{
Log.Debug("ExampleAssistant.OnMessage()", "Response: {0}", customData["json"].ToString());
Debug.LogFormat("<b> SUCCESS </b>");
Debug.Log(customData["json"].ToString());
// Convert resp to fsdata
fsData fsdata = null;
fsResult r = _serializer.TrySerialize(AssistantResponse.GetType(), AssistantResponse, out fsdata);
if (!r.Succeeded)
throw new WatsonException(r.FormattedMessages);
// Convert fsdata to MessageResponse
IBM.WatsonDeveloperCloud.Assistant.v2.MessageResponse messageResponse = new IBM.WatsonDeveloperCloud.Assistant.v2.MessageResponse();
object obj = messageResponse;
r = _serializer.TryDeserialize(fsdata, obj.GetType(), ref obj);
if (!r.Succeeded)
throw new WatsonException(r.FormattedMessages);
Response.text = AssistantResponse.Output.Generic.First().Text; // send response to unity UI text box
}
private void OnFail(RESTConnector.Error error, Dictionary<string, object> customData)
{
Log.Debug("OnFail()", "Failed: {0}", error.ToString());
Debug.LogFormat("<b> Failed </b>");
Debug.Log(error.ToString());
}
EDIT to address @Taj's comment
The Issue persists even with the sample for assitant V2 in the SDK:
Wrong Unity Responses v/s appropriate responses in dashboardtrail
