Title: Issue with actions
Post by: jameshark on March 26, 2018, 06:05:04 AM

hi,

sorry for having trouble with what might be a simple problem, but I've been having trouble with the actions only just now where only the highlighted green seem to work while the faded do nothing. Also it seems to be only the top action that will stay green, if I try changing the order around. I feel like I might have accidentally selected an option or something that's causing this.

any explanation is helpful! thanks.

Hi,
You have sequence turned on.
You can see this on the lines between the actions. (On the left side, you will see a 'v' form.)

You can turn this off by right clicking on an and deselect Action sequence.

When sequence is on, the next action will only start when the previous one is finished.

Get mouse button down is using every frame, so it will not end until the mouse button is pressed.

When sequence is off, the action will all start from top till bottom.
But without waiting for the previous one to finish.

Hi.
No problem.

If you haven't seen this yet, on the User Tutorial wiki page (https://hutonggames.fogbugz.com/default.asp?W548) you can find some interesting stuff to get familiar with Playmaker :)
