    I'm very excited about the next update!

    We're adding a Call Method action so you can call script methods using multiple parameters and get the return value in PlayMaker. This is a much requested feature and will make it a lot easier to work with third party scripts without custom actions...

    Also: added Cut to Copy/Paste, improved search fields, better copied state renaming, a PropertyDrawer system for custom classes in actions, integrated the latest version of Photon, and more!

    Coming soon...

    If I purchase Playmaker now, will the 2.0 update in the future be free?

    2.0 will likely be a different product, i.e. not backward compatible. But all 1.x updates will be free, and we've been doing those for over 2 years, with lots more to come :)

    Wow, I just noticed that you posted the very first review for Playmaker, 2 and half years ago!! Thanks! So cool! :D Would you mind posting an updated review? It would be amazing to hear from someone who's been using it for so long :D

    Sure Alex,

    When I saw playmaker was announced 2.5 years ago I immediately bought it and it completely changed my Unity experience.
    Now it allows me to realise most things that I can think of without too much difficulty.
    I have created an iOS game entirely with playmaker, you can see a gameplay video on the site www.okimika.com

    Highly recommended!

    Alex you have my permission to use my game on your site as an example of a playmaker user.

    Here's a little example of how I used Playmaker for health manager and for day and night cycle.

    Actually there's a problem with 1.7.1 not allowing you to edit prefab instances :(

    We're submitting a new build now, should be available later today!

    So please hold off on upgrading if you haven't already!

    Hey Alex,

    I was just wondering if this works on static methods as well.

    Hi,

    Sorry, not yet. Right now Get/Set Property and Call Method all require an Object instance.

    But we're working on static versions of all of these... should be in the next update.

    Awesome! Keep those update coming! :)

    BTW Alex, I am just curious, what is changed for the new 1.7.3 update??
    Because the Asset Store report that the new version is v1.7.3, but your own release note still report the old v1.7.2 changes?!
    https://hutonggames.fogbugz.com/default.asp?W311

    Also, can I suggest in the future if you could put the release note/changelog on the Asset Store 'version' link? Its kind of inconvenient to open up a browser (I am on old Macbook, takes a while! :D) just to see the release note and close it again. Most of the other extensions do that too - they put their changelog/release note on there.
    Thanks! :)

    Hi! 1.7.3 was a hotfix for an issue in 1.7.2. It was released same day as 1.7.2 so I've just updated the version number in the release notes.

    We used to have the release notes in the versions link, but we ran into a character limit about a year ago... I'll try to at least put the latest version changes in that box in the future.

    Honestly $50 is a steal, so anyone not grabbing it one sale is truly missing out.

    That is eerily similar to what Visual Actions does. Cool :)

    Call Method ftw brutha!

    Need to wrap my head around how Run FSM could be amazing (but I believe it!). Example scene would be nice?

    Yeah, we're working on a better way to organize sample scenes online. So every "how do I" question in the forum can link to an example scene with a web player and download link. Also searchable by actions used, rating etc.

    I think it's going to be pretty awesome, and really the next step towards making Playmaker even more accessible!

    I'll look into Physics.Linecast :)

    I love these kits. will get them, just I'm on unity 3.5 will they work there?

    Any reason why unity 4 would be required other than that's the version used to upload to the store?

    Thanks!

    I think that's part of the gameplay, You have to turn the player just as you duck and jump.
