Title: Send Event - no event options??
Post by: kinetiknz on October 30, 2011, 10:08:34 PM

Hey there. I have a network with a send event action that I am looking to use to trigger an action in a different objects FSM.

I have chosen 'GameObject' as the event target.
specified the game object.

At this point no events are listed in the Send Event pull-down. Shouldn't it list all events ticked global in that objects FSM?

Thanks


** Also, shouldn't button event's be able to access global events?? It's annoying to have to pass the button output to another action just to use a send event.

It should list all global events. Didn't come across this problem in testing, but will look into it...

You can use the Set Event Target action to set a target for subsequent action events. So, for example, a GUI Button action can Broadcast an event to all FSMs. This was added to avoid the scenario you described of having to add extra states.

I'm unable to repro the bug.

Can you confirm you have 1.2.1?
Can you send me a simple project that shows the bug?

Thanks!
