Problems getting simple wait timer to work

[turkeypotpie]

I have a very simple case:

State 1 (start state)
  No actions
  Transition (FINISHED) to State 2

State 2
  Contains a Wait action with time of 1 second and Finish Event set to WAIT_FINISHED
  Transition (WAIT_FINISHED) to State 1


For me, this VERY SIMPLE case DOES NOT WORK.  It loops around once, but not forever like it should.  If I used the FINISHED event, instead of my custom WAIT_FINISHED event, then it works ok, but this isn't what I want.

Also, if I comment out a line in the OnUpdate of Wait.cs :

Code: [Select]

if (timer >= time.Value) {
    Fsm.Event(finishEvent);
    //Finish();
}

... then it works ok.

Does this problem happen for others too?  Or am I just missing something with the way this should work?

When you call "Finish()" function you are finishing the state actions, thus no loop will be executed, whether there is or not a transition. If you want to have it looping forever, do not call "Finish()".

So how do I fix my problem without modifying the PlayMaker source code?

I'm having this problem also!

I just fixed it using Finish Event: FINISHED.

When I created a new Event name, I was having turkeypotpie's problem.

You can also use Send Event, with a delay.

Yeah as I was saying, using the FINISHED event does sort of fix the problem, but for me, I have an input action on my wait state, which transitions into another state.  FINISHED won't work with that.
