Templates all disable on enter play mode

[adrian]

Hi,

Long time Playmaker user, just started looking at templates but whenever I use one (save fsm as template, choose to use now) the FSM's all instantly deactivate when entering playmode?

I've tried with an empty scene, rotate 180 per second, every frame on a cube, to try and isolate the issue and it still happens.

Is this an expected behaviour or is there some setting that I can use to fix?

*It actually seems to run for a frame as cube is rotated but then disabled by bug*

I've just checked and if (in playmode) you turn off the FSM (that's been disabled), then turn it on again, it works as expected?

Any ideas why Playmaker would be disabling on enter play mode? FSM seems fine

I just checked here and it seems to be working as expected. What version of Playmaker and Unity are you using?

Yeah it is odd, I am in 2020.1.17f1 and Playmaker 1.9.1. We are in production so I cannot update without creating a huge QA que. I've tried in an empty scene, same thing. Tried a blank project with latest (today) version and is indeed working. I'm just wondering if there is some setting I have accidentally set that is causing this as I cannot update for at least a month

I'm trying to remember if there was in issue in 1.91. Does it disable if you use another way to select the template? E.g., instead of Use Template, select it from the browser? Does it disable if it's not selected in the editor when hitting play?

[adrian]

Yes thanks for the tips but sadly have tried use now and loading it from FSM menu. It also disables when not selected and scene is loaded.

Which specific version of 1.9.1 are you using? I know there were some patch releases which would be a shorter jump than updating to 1.9.4.

Version 1.9.1.p3 for example had a fix for disabled templates.

Oh wow, that's so helpful, do you know where I can get legacy versions?

I sent you an invite to the beta group.
Go to Downloads > Older Versions > 1.9.1
