Title: Instanced Actions
Post by: julius on February 12, 2013, 03:22:42 PM

Hey All,

I would love to be able to instance actions. I.E. I would love to make one action that I can duplicate to multiple locations but if I change one all of the instanced (duplicated) actions update as well. Along these lines I would love to be able to make instances of an action set and put it into a sub action.

You should be able to do this now with the Run FSM action and templates. Have you had a chance to play with this in 1.5?

Is there a tutorial for this? It would come very helpful to me as well!

Alex, I'm trying to use the RUN FSM action but it doesn't seem to work.

I have saved the action I want to be run as a template, and set on 3 objects a RUN FSM action to call it.

One thing I don't know is how the settings in the RUN FSM action work.
I don't want to set any of the variables from there because they are all calculated inside the FSM itself.

So, the 3 objects with the RUN FSM do not react correctly (or to be honest they don't really seem to load the action), and to test it, I copied the same action and pasted it on another object, and it works.

Is there any way to debug RUN FSM or see what's happening?

Hi,

 sub fsm is this feature that allows you to run fsm template.

indeed, update playmaker from your asset store window and try again.

bye,

Hi,

 ok, you found a bug, I can repro, basically, the action "collision event" does not trigger within a sub fsm. So for now I would suggest that either you create your fsm as a reaction to the trigger event declared in the parent fsm, or else you use the actual global event ONTRIGGERENTER which works within a sub fsm, I tested. you can then filter triggers if you want.

 I filed a bug, so It will likely be fixed on the next update.

bye,

 Jean
