Hi,

uhm. Are you sure you have downloaded the latest version, cause I did fixed this.

 What version does it mention in the changelog? you should have 1.2.1

 Bye,

Jean,

Please have a look at this video


It clearly shows that I have the newest datamaker, and recent Playmaker version, and yet this still happens.. Please help, it's delaying my project :(

Also, is there a way to modify the XML Proxy, to work with string variables instead of text assets?? It doesn't work when I try to modify it, it comes up with a log that the XML is not properly formatted or something.

Hi,

 It's unfortunate, I can't replicate this!




If you are stuck with just this, simply move into a memory reference instead of a FsmString.

you don't need to modify the proxy, simply use the action "SaveInProxy", have you tried it?

Can you tell me where you xml source comes from?

Bye,

 Jean

The XML comes from an amazon s3 storage, so when the app starts the file gets downloaded and then it gets loaded into a string variable so ideally what I would like to do is to then use this variable to manipulate the xml but because of that error I am unable to do so.

update: I tried using memory referance and it comes up with the same error...

Hi,

Since I can't replicate, I am really stuck on how I can help out here unfortunatly.

Can you check what's your dataversion on that fsm where you have this problem ) dataversion available in small print at the bottom of the fsm tab of the PlayMaker editor) and have you tried on a fresh project?

 The  way to go is the following however: Save it inside a proxy using "XMlSaveInProxy" action, and follow that with a "XmlRefreshStringVersion" to check in the Unity inspector what's the content.

This way, you can bypass the issue of selecting an FsmString variable for the source in your actions.

 Bye,

 Jean

When I set the xml proxy as a gameobject, with no variable and then use xML save in proxy then yes it works fine... But will it keep the reference when I build it and try on iOS or android or it won't?? after all it's only referencing a gameobject on scene no an actual gameobject saved in variable - But that's the only way that works for me without throwing up errors.

I just tried on my mac mini, updated everything to newest version and it's still coming up with that same error...

Hi,

 yes, it keeps the reference.

how did you get this error when publishing on mac mini? this error looks like coming from the Unity Editor.

This is the error I get when trying to select a variable for my XML proxy in the datamaker's xml node action.

Now i'm stuck again with the same problem.. I have a template which generates some of the items on ugui for me, and I wanted to display the player's progress on it.. And it happens that I MUST use a variable when using the xml proxy, so that same error pop ups and it won't let me select

It's weird though that the errors says that it can't convert like gameobject to system.boolean? Wtf?

Hi,

 what's really odd is that I can't repro this.

Can you confirm you have tried on a clean fresh project and with a simple, fsm , one state, with just that action, you still have this problem?

Okay, we might have a breakthrough lol... I made a brand new project with one fsm and one proxy, and it worked. I don't have any errors though in playmaker, and no unity errors...So now the question is ... How can I debug my existing one to find out why it's not working?

I get these warnings and that error in my existing project.




I did a little test... I packaged the current project in .asset and then created brand new project.. Installed playmaker, datamaker, ES2 etc... Imported that asset package... I have shi*t loads of errors but I can add a variable for proxy lol... Does that help?

Hi,

 I am still unsure if you actually tested a fresh project with Just DataMaker yet?

 I am suspecting that the PlayMaker Utils from the dataMaKer package get overwriting by an older version from another package and so you loose the fixes.

 Make sure you reimport DataMaker, that could be just what's needed.

 Bye,

 Jean
