How can I have a parent scene connect to another parent scene and have the intent/utterance work?

[ManuPiz]

Hi everyone,

I've been working on an Alexa project for children and I have everything working except for one thing. It's clear that there is no functionality through the interactive adventure game tool for "looping," or having a parent scene connect to another parent scene. It forces a child scene to be created.

Therefore, I went into the scene JSON code (scenes.json) and manually configured the scenes so they would connect. I then manually uploaded the "skills" folder which contains the index.js file (without using the IAG tool save button or opening up the interface, which refreshes the code), and everything is working EXCEPT for Alexa will not recognize the looped scenes. She simply shuts down.

Does anyone know if there is another file that needs to be modified to get this to work? I've looked through config.json, intentSchema.json, scenes.json to no avail. Might anyone have any thoughts?

Any response is appreciated, thank you.

If you look at the fork created by the BBC they've added linking between scenes into the UI, so it all works quite nicely. https://github.com/bbc/interactive-adventure-game-tool/network

I've just written up my experience of using the tool in general, and the bbc fork specifically, if it helps: https://medium.com/@james3burke/creating-stories-using-amazons-alexa-interactive-adventure-game-tool-4bc5fb0373de
