Title: Set Array on another FSM/GameObject[SOLVED]
Post by: SeanC on January 31, 2016, 08:04:06 PM: Hello,

I am using the latest BETA version of PM and I am trying to use the Array actions to set an Array Variable on another GameObject. Unfortunately, none of the actions seem to support that. "FSM Array Set" seemed promising, but that seems to only allow a string to be transferred - nowhere does it ask for the Variable type.

Am I missing something? How can i set an array variable/add an array item to an array on another GameObject.

Thanks!
SeanC

I have noticed that as well. To me the action somehow looks like work in progress. The tooltip text ("Set an item in an Array Variable in another FSM") differs from what is actually done.

I'm in pretty desperate need of this action to be fixed. I have multiple game objects with dynamic Arrays in the scene, so I prefer not using global array variable. And also I have only used just 1.8 array functions thus far, and would prefer not using array maker just to use this one function if it's possible.

Yes, 1.8 currently is missing an attribute for us to be able to access other fsm's FsmArray variables.

I'll ping Alex on this. I guess there are technical difficulties in this specific process.

Get back to me end of this week, I think I can make an action that let's you soft link variables, you won't get any list of variables, you'll have to use a regular string.

Bye,

Jean

Is there any update to the action for the soft link variables you mentioned?

You can use the "Set Fsm Array Item" (Single item on target arrya) and "Set Fsm Array" (whole array) action :)

It doesn't work correctly for me. I used "Set Fsm Array" and it just change my variable to default value.

Indeed "Set fsm Array" seems to be broken.

in playmaker 1.9.0p2

"Set Fsm Array Item" does seem to work.

I will post a bug report.
