Playmaker Tip: Use Send Event with a Delay to loop a state:

 

Thanks for the tip Alex.
Can you give a simple/general example of 'why' you'd want to delay a state transition before moving into the next state?
If you'd rather, I can post in the Playmaker forum instead so others can respond.

 

Actually it was a question on the forums that prompted the example. Someone wanted to check variables once a second until interrupted by an event from another FSM. But the general pattern works for lots of things, e.g., a lot of AI tasks make sense to do periodically, for both gameplay and performance reasons. For example you could do expensive raycasts and reasoning every half second instead of every frame. Or maybe it's as simple as enforcing a delay on a spawner, e.g., reload time for a weapon before it can shoot again. Of course you can use multiple states too (DoSomethingState, WaitState, back to DoSomethingState), this example is just a more concise way of expressing that.

 

Wow. This one is really nice. Didn't knew that you can actually send an event to "Self".

 

Playmaker Tip: Use Global Transitions to transition to a state from any state. Similar to AnyState in Mecanim.

Just updated to 5.3.5 and now I have an annoying problem. I created a new state which I'm trying to rename. Every time I do a new input in the text field the state get's de-selected.

I'm using Playmaker 1.8 Beta (43 or smth)

 

Hi, I'm downloading 5.3.5 now to check. What version are you upgrading from?
We don't see this in 5.3.4p6 or 5.4 so it's weird that 5.3.5 would be different.
Do you have other editor extensions in the project?

Starting a thread on the Playmaker forums for this would probably be best. That way if other users are having problems with 5.3.5 we can figure out any commonalities...

EDIT: Found the thread you posted to on the Playmaker forums.

I'm not able to get 1.8.1 to work. After installing the package, I get the following error:

Code (CSharp):

From the last line of the message it is referring to SceneManagement.Scene, but this is only a Unity 5.3 feature. And I'm on Unity 5.2.4p1. I assumed there must be a reference to SceneManagement so I searched the code. However, wherever SceneManagement is referenced it is inactive code because the version number checks are working properly. So, I have no idea how this could be happening.

I decided to just rip out all the code that references this, but even that didn't help. Are the references possibly in the dll plugins?

EDIT: Just removed 1.8.1 and copied over 1.8.0 beta from another project and it works fine. So this is definitely something just in the latest release and not project related.

 

Hi, I'm not able to repro here. Maybe the Asset Store is giving you the 5.3 version of Playmaker? I would go into the Asset Store Download Manager, find Playmaker, and manually Download and Import it to make sure you're getting the correct version. I've heard that some versions of Unity have this problem...

 

Hi Alex

good to hear the 1.81 have mecanim addon integrated.
suggest add unity pathfinding addon inegrate in next version.

 

That's how I did it. Is there some other way to download? I don't see how I could have gotten it any other way. I reverted to 1.8.0 beta for now.

For future requests, I'd like to see proper sound implementation integration so sounds can play properly in 3D.

 

If you have multiple versions of Unity on one machine the Asset Store can get confused about which version of Unity it's downloaded an asset for (or so I hear). So sometimes you have to download again in the specific version that you're currently using to make sure you have the right version. Don't know if this is your issue...

I've tested in 5.2.3f1. Don't have the patch version but will download to test in case that is the issue...

I know you'd mentioned some actions before, are they on the Ecosystem? Can you point me to the specific actions? Thanks!

EDIT: Couldn't find a way to PM you, but if you PM me I can send you the correct unitypackage to make sure it's an Asset Store issue.

 

Yeah, integration of the Pathfinding Add-on is on the TODO list...
