...just another big Custom Action collection (A-L)

The majority of my actions is now on the Ecosystem, making this
topic the hub for all related remarks, suggestions and problems. ________________________________________________________

Since I work on a somewhat larger project for ~3 years I encountered all kinds of challenges to overcome and often times the default- and ecosystem-actions, even though large in numbers, couldn't suffice for all those hurdles.
That's why I had to help myself out and create or modify existing actions which I'd like to share with this community, because without PlayMaker and people contributing additional functionalities I wouldn't have even come close to an almost complete game.
Most of them can be found in the Ecosystem (Unity 5 and up), but for the ones that aren't feasible for that of if you use an earlier version you'd have to skim through my GitHub Repository and install them manually: https://github.com/justDeek/Useful-Unity-Utilities
I will still add more actions when I see the need for them. If you have any questions or want an action that works in a similar fashion to the prevalent ones, ask right ahead.
If you found any errors or room for improvement, you can also point those out. Any feedback is heartily welcome.
Summary of all currently included actions (their purpose can be derived from their name or action-description):

The rest of my collection can be found on this post here.
Notes:
- Third Party actions and the like (e.g. NGUI, GDE, ...) aren't on the Ecosystem (yet), since they are planned to be bundled in a package (like the uGUI action-package for example), which then would be put on the Ecosystem, rather than polluting it with each single actions only a small group of users can use
- the rest of the actions not put on the Ecosystem are either not really useful/interesting for most, only change a little bit of an already existing action, are not tested sufficiently or there is already a similar action available
- the actions are available & supported for Unity 5 and up, because that's the version I mainly use and tested them on, meaning that most if not all of them are likely compatible with earlier Unity versions; but unless there are several people demanding it, it wouldn't be worthwile for me to test them on and provide them for earlier versions (namely Unity 4)
Edit:
|15.07.17|:
- Added: Direct-Download Links since you can't download single files in GitHub
|19.07.17|:
- Added: Actions "Countup Timer", "Swipe Gesture Event Advanced" & Custom Menu options to quickly change between scenes with shortcuts
|21.07.17|:
- Added: GDE-Actions: "GDE Add Float", "GDE Add Int", "GDE Add String", "GDE Multiply Float", "GDE Multiply Int"
- Fixed: GitHub Screenshot-Previews, they should all be visible now
|02.08.17|:
- Added: "Activate Multiple Components" and several GDE-related Actions
|28.08.17|:
- Added: "GDE Find Item By Value", "NGUI Tools Destroy Multi", "Enum Get Random", "Get Enum As Array", "Random Weighted Enum", "Random Weighted Vector3"
|09.10.17|:
- Added: "NGUI Set Sprite Size", "NGUI Set Widget Color", "Get -" + "Set Runtime Animator Controller", "Get AudioClip Length", "Get Audio Progress", "Int Switch", "Set Position Multi", "Debug Variable On Screen", "Send Event Random Delay", "Send Event Set Multi"
- Re-arranged how the list is represented in this post
|09.12.17|:
- Added: "Random Float On Slope", "Random Point On Slope"
- Updated: "Countup Timer" (now supports to pause the timer, reset and restart on enter),
"Debug Variable On Screen" (added option to change the font size)
- Fixed: "Destroy Children"
- Re-worked: "GDE Create Item" (removed the convenient custom inspector that showed which Schemas are available, because it brought more harm than good, but at least it works now better and is more performant)
If you still have the "GDECreateItemInspector.cs" file, remove it when you want to use the new "GDE Create Item" script
|23.12.17|:
- Added: "Compare Colors"
- Started uploading most of these onto the Ecosystem (Unity 5 and up)
- Adjusted the list of actions to indicate which action can now be found on the Ecosystem
- Sorted certain actions into better matching categories
- Removed: "Set Sprite Color Custom" and "Remove Fullscreen Color"
|26.12.17|:
- Added: "Follow Mouse 2D"
- Re-worked: "Activate Game Objects" (a re-work of the quite deprecated "Activate Multiple Game Objects" with additional options), "Activate Components" (a better version of "Activate Multiple Components", in the same vein as "Activate Game Objects")
- Created info-banner at the top of this post
|30.12.17|:
- Updated: "NGUI Set Sprite Multiple" (added required OnPreprocess() prerequisite for PlayMaker 1.8.5 and up)
- Re-worked: "Set Positions" (previously "Set Positions Multi", added ability to set each GameObject's position individually (next to setting them all to one as initially intended), as well as the options to choose the update type)
|19.01.18|:
- Re-worked: "Send Events" (previously called "Send Event Multi" and was fairly limited+threw an error when the event, even if global, wasn't used by the current FSM)
- Removed: direct download links since most of the actions are on the Ecosystem anyway and it's one system less that I'd have to maintain whenever I add/update any script
|04.02.18|:
- Added: "Nav Mesh Agent Move To", "Get Child Count Advanced", "Float Compare Range", "Int Compare Range"
|10.03.18|:
- had to split this post in half because of max char limit
|30.03.18|:
- Added: "Activate Game Objects Advanced", "Game Object Keep Active", "Get Last Child", "Toggle Component", "Toggle Game Object", "Reset Transforms", "String Append", "String Remove"
|13.04.18|:
- Added: "Enable Fsms", "Disable This FSM", "Restart This FSM", "Ease Int", "Get Rotation Add Offset", "Nav Mesh Agent Get Area Mask", "Ngui Label Set Text Advanced"
- Re-worked: "List Game Objects Inside Collider", "List Game Objects Inside Collider 2D" (both contained a restriction that didn't allow to filter by the 'Untagged'-tag), "Get Position Add Offset", "Get Scale Add Offset" (the variable 'Apply Offset to GO' now allows for a direct GameObject to apply the offset to a different GameObject than the specified one; also added the selection of the update type), "Reset Transforms" (now allows to specify which part of the transform (position, rotation and/or scale) to include or exclude)
|24.06.18|:
- Added: "Array Get Random Advanced", "Set GameObject If Not Null", "Random Point Between GameObjects", "Get GameObject Screen Position", "Random Wait Around Offset", "GDE Float Compare", "GDE Int Compare", "GDEResetItem", "GDE Schema Get Next Item"
- Re-worked: "Send Event Set Multi" (added 'Enable' and made 'Send Event' optional), "Send Event Set Value" (added 'Enable'), moved the Item and Field Names of my GDE actions to the top
|11.01.19|:
- Added: "Get Children", "Array Add GameObject If Enabled", "Array Add If Empty", "ArrayIsEmpty"
- Re-worked: "Array List Contains Name" (fixed comparison of Objects, added option to check for identical entries or ones that only contain the given name)
|24.09.19|:
- Added: "Find Children", "Convert Int To Letter", "Get Percentage Int", "Get Gravity 2d Scale", "Random Characters", "Sprite Get Name"
- Updated: "Activate GameObjects", "Activate GameObjects Advanced", "Get GameObject Sibling", "Get Multilevel GameObject"

Awesome, looks like some great actions! Thank you for posting.

Hi,
Wow a nice bunch of actions, i will certainly check them out.
May i add some of those on the Ecosystem?

Sure thing, do as you please!
The GitHub Repository also contains all the preview pictures for the actions in the folder "Screenshots" if you want to include them for the Documentation-Button (the ?-Symbol on actions in the Ecosystem).
But I'm still unclear how the actions you choose to use could be updated if I improve or modify something inside of them... by replying to this post or is there another way?
djaydino:
Hi,
Thx i will post when i added some actions.
(might take a while :) )
