The animation got a little choppy in the video capture :(
-
I've just started with playMaker and I was hoping to copy this Animation Graph as I good in, but my FSM looks different to the FSM in the video, I have Start and then an arrow to the first state, Idle in this case and if I create another state I just have one box, I don't have any boxes that say ToIdle, toWalk or ToRun in them - I can name my states thus, but what are the boxes below these - are they transition names?
I'm a bit confused, the video starts 'in medias res' and I'd really like it if it began at the beginning so I can see how you got those three states into the FSM!
Please advise!
Thanks

I would like a little help on this too. Can't seem to alt click to switch and test the play animation clips assigned to the states. Maybe it's an oversight on my part, but I can't replicate the ToRun ( dark box with arrow pointing down ) to a state ( light gray box ). Is this a custom event thing?
Any help would be appreciated.

The dark boxes with arrows down into a state are global transitions - transitions triggered by the event regardless of the current state. Right click a state and Add Global Transition to make these.
Does that help?
-
Thanks for the help. To rename my Global Transitions from "..." ToRun, ToWalk and so on I created a new event with the Event Window and changed them through the Tool Window. I'm now sitting here laughing like a school girl just alt clicking my animation loops on my custom made character :) too cool.

Cool! You can also right click the box to select the event.
Also if you select the event in the Events tab and check Inspector, the event will be exposed as a button in the PlayMakerFSM inspector.

any chance of making another tutorial on controlling these animations with on screen controls for mobile devices
thank you

I would be interested in this too. Maybe touch/ tap controls or joysticks like the iPhone import package that unity ships with. Would make for a nice paid set of tutorials. Seems to be the missing link.
