Title: Use Active object as trigger (event)
Post by: akdialek on July 02, 2018, 11:35:09 AM

Hello,
Iam new to playmaker and i am making quite some process in learning the tool.
One thing I can not accomplish is the following:
I want to make an animation system where different objects are triggering different stuff only by becoming active in the scene.
I do not want to use a collider trigger. If possible it should also allow more complex szenarios. e.g.

Object1 solo: object1 anim1
object2 gets active: object1 anim2
object 2 & 3 get active: object1 anim3
and so on -  for different objects and pairings.

I hope it is somehow understandable what i try to do.
Thank you very much!!

Hi.
Probably its best to do this in the Animator and use bools.

You can then use "Set Animator Bool" to set to true or false
For Example :
object2 is active, then set object2 bool to true

Then in the transitions you can use the conditions to select the needed animation.
for Example :
object2 and 3 are active (and set to true)
the transition that has 2 conditions (object 2 and 3) and both are true, will go to the connected state(animation)

You can find several tutorials on youtube for the animator.
