Title: replacing a script string with a playmaker global string[SOLVED]
Post by: rollingdjs on October 09, 2012, 04:41:31 PM

I've been a little stumped on this. Trying to plug a Playmaker Global String into a C# script with not as much luck as I hoped. Currently the script has a string variable "targetAnimation", which is an public string that I can change in the Unity Editor. Now I just want it to be the same as a Playmaker global string "AnimName2" - I set it up so it would be in it's own class, and I can just send message to the script to invoke that particular method.

Unfortunately I get the error in unity "Cannot implicitly convert type `HutongGames.PlayMaker.FsmString' to `string'"

public override void Start()

   {

      base.Start();

      targetAnimation  = PlayMakerGlobals.Instance.Variables.GetFsmString("AnimName2")

   }


Is there something I'm missing here? Is the playmaker string an object maybe? I'm not quite adept at scripting enough to recognize that I might be approaching this all wrong

Hi,

 yes, Fsm variables have to be accessed trhought xxx.Value

simply check out the actions shipped with PlayMaker to see its usage.

You need this:

Code: [Select]

targetAnimation  = PlayMakerGlobals.Instance.Variables.GetFsmString("AnimName2").Value
bye,
