Instanced prefabs struggle to set correct values for new actions

[agelvik]

Hey,
Trying to add new actions on a prefab, however existing Instanced prefabs struggle to update properly upon save. I need to revert the FSM values to get correct values on the latest additions.

Hi.
Check Overrides as i can see that the selected prefab is set a (Modified)

Hmm, check what exactly?
The way I use FSMs on prefabs is enable Input variables, and adjust these values based on what I need to happen.

I'm only adjusting the variables though, never adding new actions to instanced FSMs.

Hi.
Because of the exposed variables (if you change the default value) the fsm is overridden from the prefab.

There are 2 ways to fix, revert the prefab and set your exposed variables
and the update option (which can take long depending you how many prefabs you have).
For update you can find in the playmaker tab PlayMaker/Tools.
Just to be sure make a backup before update

I'm aware of the reverting options etc., but from a user perspective, what happens in the video I posted doesn't make sense... It feels like a weird bug when the states don't update properly when all I've done is tweak the input variables?

It normally works fine, but this sometimes happens at a seemingly random pace, so it's quite confusing.
