Title: Listening to state changes in FSM
Post by: yjwong on November 15, 2017, 07:30:28 PM

Hi there,

Currently new to Playmaker, is there a way to listen to state changes in a particular FSM? I'm working on a project that works with API.ai (it's a service that processes natural language). Ideally, I would be able to synchronize/send the state name to API.ai whenever state changes happen.

Right now, it's possible for me to use actions, but I'd have to add them to every state.

Cheers

Hi,
make an fsm somewhere and then use 'Get Fsm State' and point it to the fsm component or Gameobject/fsm name ,store the result and check Every Frame.

In the same state have the action 'String Changed' place the result variable and set a changed event.

In the next state you can send the state name and transition back to the 1st state.
