Hi, I need advice avout how to organize instruction screens in Playmaker. I have a lot distributed at several moments of the app, and I wanted to associate each one to a state while the rest is paused. Is it possible?

 

Hi, a common pattern for this is to use Activate Game Object to enable the Canvas or Panel for a screen and use UI Button Array to manage transitions to other screens.

So each state activates a screen and manages transitions to other screens (note Reset On Exit is set to true):


The individual screens can have their own FSMs to control their internal behaviour, but the flow is nicely managed in a screen manager FSM. You can of course have multiple manager FSMs. In general it is better to have smaller FSMs that talk to each other, or turn each other off and on, instead of one giant FSM.

Does this help?

 

Thanks a lot for your quick answer!
I'll try something like the second option. I would like to pass some parmeters to the instructions in order to set up the text. There is a lot of different texts and the screen layout is always the same, but I'm already figuring out how to make it.
Thanks again.

 

No problem

Hi, I have put my project using Playmaker on Gitlab, but I had to reinstall Playmaker from the asset store because the FSM scrips were not loaded. Is this normal? Thxs.

 

Hi @Alex-Chouls, do you know what might be causing the EditorStartupPrefs file to show a conflict all the time while using Unity Collab? We've tried ensuring that our preferences are identical but the conflict occurs on this one file consistently.

Thanks

 

I would guess that some files needed by Playmaker are not committed to Gitlab, maybe the dlls. Check the .gitignore file.

 

EditorStartupPrefs includes local project info, like the path to the project, so it's likely to be different in each project. We're looking into ways to handle this differently, but you could also exclude the file from Collab using .collabignore:
