Title: Broadcast Event Problems [SOLVED]
Post by: Boxman on October 23, 2011, 04:38:29 AM

Hey Guys,

When I try to broadcast an event to every FSM in the level I'm finding i get errors that kill performance.

Here is what unity outputs:

"NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
HutongGames.PlayMaker.FsmState.OnEnter ()
HutongGames.PlayMaker.Fsm.EnterState (HutongGames.PlayMaker.FsmState state)
HutongGames.PlayMaker.Fsm.SwitchState (HutongGames.PlayMaker.FsmState toState)
HutongGames.PlayMaker.Fsm.DoTransition (HutongGames.PlayMaker.FsmTransition transition, Boolean isGlobal)
HutongGames.PlayMaker.Fsm.ChangeState (System.String eventName)
HutongGames.PlayMaker.Fsm.Event (System.String fsmEventName)
HutongGames.PlayMaker.Actions.BroadcastEvent.BroadcastToAll () (at Assets/PlayMaker/Actions/BroadcastEvent.cs:60)"

And when i double click the error it highlights this line of code:

fsm.Event(broadcastEvent.Value);

Are there any issues with broadcasting events i should be aware of?

Is there a better way of destroying all instances of an object at once?

Try using the new BroadcastAll target in the Send Event action (v1.2).

As of 1.2 the Broadcast Event action is obsolete...

I thought i was up to date with the latest version but looks like I wasn't
