Title: Always with the "Please import Playmaker for Unity 5."! [SOLVED]
Post by: TellMeTellMeDontTellMe on April 29, 2016, 04:32:23 PM

I'm running Unity5 and am using Playmaker 1.8.0f43.

Using a Mac, OS X El Capitan 10.11.1

No matter what I do I get the error message:

     PlayMaker AutoUpdater

     Please import Playmaker for Unity 5.

     To get the latest version, update in the Unity Asset Store or download from Hutong Games Store.

It interrupts everything and I have to tap OK to dismiss it.

I've tried updating, re-importing, start new projects, no matter what, I get this message at least every minute. It is incredibly annoying.

What do I do to make it stooooooooooooppppppp?!?!?!  :'( :'( :'(

Hmmm, I'll investigate...

In the meantime you can delete:
PlayMaker\Editor\PlayMakerAutoUpdater.cs

Any news regarding this issue?
I'm also suffering from it...
Using unity 5.3 and playmaker 1.8.2

Deleting PlayMakerAutoUpdater.cs gives me another error (auto updater missing) which prevents me from going to play mode.

Thanks

Is PlayMaker.dll in Assets\Plugins\PlayMaker\?
If it's somewhere else (e.g., Assets\PlayMaker\PlayMaker.dll) move it to Assets\Plugins\PlayMaker\ in the Unity Project View. Do not use File Explorer/Finder to move the file and BACKUP your project first!

Let me know if this fixes the issue for you.

I'm using Playmaker 1.8.5, and I moved Playmaker into plugins folder. It keeps getting this dialog too on Play, and no way to turn it off.

Hi,
You should not move the playmaker folder.
Did you have the issue before you moved it?

No, was working fine before. But there are many packages imported, and it's better to organize them in a third party folder.

Hi,

 you should never move files coming from packages, it's unfortunate but Unity file management is very edgy and you can run into so many issues with this that it's best not to touch it and instead create your owne folder inside the assets where you put all the stuff you bring yourself for that particular project, then you are on the safe side.

 Bye,

I know that's what many people say, but not really a good way when there are more than 50 packages involved.

Most packages have option to specify the folder if they are moved, so hope you can add that too. For now I will delete the auto update.

Hi,

 the problem is that even if assets allow you to move files around, there is no guarantee that future iterations of Unity will not break this one way or the other. We had the case few times over the various cycles of Unity, the last one being If I recall properly in 5.4, and backups won't help you in this case.

but yes, normally this should be ok in most cases.


bye,

I have been using Unity since v3, and organizing packages like these. No such problems, except a few improvements like Plugins folder.
