Hey gamingislove. How do you select a object variable components variables from another gameobjects machine or schematic? you mention in you tutorials that object variables are bound to objects and can be accessed any where like global variables but how?

Also can you only create global variables under game -> game settings -> initial variables?

Sorry I am a developer(web services) and well its my first time using a visual approach to programming. I was hoping this toolkit would allow me to prototype fast. It can be a bit hard to get used to.

 

You can access a game object's object variables by selecting the Object variable origin and using the game object which's variables you want use as the Object.

The Initial Variables in Game > Game Settings are only for global variables.

 

Thank You. Much Appreciated.

Makinom 1.5.0 is here!
This update brings the new Selected Data feature (completely replacing the found/global object lists), shiny new variable/reflection field popups and other new stuff.
See the full release notes for details.

Selected data allows you to store different things (e.g. game objects, components or variable handlers) in data lists (identified by a data key) to be used elsewhere, e.g. as the origin for variables or game objects. Selected data, like variables, is available locally (limited running schematics and calculating formulas), globally (available everywhere) and bound to objects (through an Object Variables comopnent).

Hey everyone, I'd like to announce that Makinom is now available for free - no watermark, no limitations and commercial use is allowed.
Makinom Free should be available in the Asset Store soon (hopefully), meanwhile you can download it here.

If you want access to the gameplay source code of Makinom, you can purchase Makinom Pro in the Asset Store from now on for only $35.

Read more about this here. And if you like my products and enjoy the free updates and support I'm offering, please consider supporting my work on patreon.com!

 

Wow, thats very cool and generous... i see on your page that it requires Unity 2017. Is there a version for older Unity versions? Thanks!

 

Makinom Free is currently only available for Unity 2017.1 - I plan on uploading older Makinom versions (supporting older Unity versions) once it's available in the Asset Store.
Which Unity version are you using?

 

I have a game selling on Steam made with 4.7 and i'm still supporting it (doesn't mean you have to make makinom compatible with 4). My current project is in development with 5.6

Thanks!

 

Makinom Free is now available in the Unity Asset Store, for free

Hi, new to Unity here, trying to figure out if Makinom support touch controls for android out of the box? Or if not, is there any recommended package for that?
Trying to decide if I can make a drag-n-drop dependent game with this.
Thx!

 

You can create virtual controls for touch input by setting up a Control type HUD (in Menus > HUDs in the Makinom editor).
Drag and drop can also be achieved, e.g. using Interaction machines (the Mouse start types also work for touch input).

 

Awesome, thanks! Will then delve into the open documentation and decide if to buy this. Sure feels like Im leaning toward that!

 

Makinom 1.14.0 is here!
The main feature of this update is the support for different asset sources (e.g. asset bundles) - see this new how-to for more information.
See the release notes for details.

And in case you missed it - Makinom 2 is already in the beta stage, currently available as BETA 3 (which added Live Debugging of schematics). See this page for all details and new features.

Since Makinom 2 is already that far along in development, Makinom 1.18.0 will most likely be the last version with actual new features.

 

Would been great if there were free ork version like makinom without source code.
