Sending Event with Script not working

[jrDev]

Hello guys,

I am trying to send event through scripting but it doesn't seem to trigger in the FSM.

Code: [Select]

    public void EndTurn()
    {

        GameObject gameManager = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Game Manager");

        PlayMakerFSM gameManagerFSM = PlayMakerFSM.FindFsmOnGameObject(gameManager, "Turn Manager");
        PlayMakerUtils.SendEventToGameObject(gameManagerFSM, gameManager, "Manually End Player Turn");

        Debug.Log("Called " + gameManager + " " + gameManagerFSM);
    }
The debug log fires but the fsm event does not. I checked the spelling of the event too.

Thanks,
jrDev

Hi.

Try this :

Code: [Select]

        PlayMakerFSM gameManagerFSM = PlayMakerFSM.FindFsmOnGameObject(go, "FSM");
        gameManagerFSM.Fsm.Event("Redeem");
If the script is in the scene from the start you can set a public variable for the fsm.

if not, you might want to place the FindGameObjectWithTag and FindFsmOnGameObject.
in a OnEnable()

here is a sample where you can drag the fsm in directly :

Code: [Select]

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using HutongGames.PlayMaker;

public class test : MonoBehaviour
{
    public PlayMakerFSM gameManagerFSM;

    public void EndTurn()
    {
        gameManagerFSM.Fsm.Event("Manually End Player Turn");
    }
}

To drag the fsm from another object, you can lock the inspector (top right)

then add a new inspector tab (click next to lock and select 'add tab' / Inspector)
then drag it somewhere so you can see both.

drag fsm to script.

Hello,

What I posted in the original post actually worked. I just seemed to have hit a bug in Playmaker that keeps reference to Phantom Events. That same "Manually End Turn"  event was removed for some reason I cant remember, but I re-added a new one of this event with the same name. After looking through the Events tab, I noticed there was 2 of the same Events saved which I assume is a bug because you can't (shouldn't?) be able to have global events with the same name. This seems to have cause the issue cause as soon as I removed one of the Events my script started to work. See attached pic below. Should this be reported?

Hi.
You can report the issue in the bug report section or thru the asset (playmaker/tools/submit bug report)

if you could try to repo how the duplicate got there, it would be very helpful.

What unity/playmaker version are you using?

Also did you do an update on unity or playmaker.

Was the old removed one possibly on a prefab?

any more information you can think of, please share.

It can be helpful to narrow down the issue.

Hi,

 are you you don't have a space or a tab character at the end of one of these duplicate event? turn the global flag off and you can edit the name, check then.

like
"My Event "
"My Event"

the extra space char will not be seen in this UI.

Let me know if they are exactly the same strings

Bye,

 Jean
