Title: [SOLVED] Custom action that can take either string or int but not both
Post by: ATeshGames on December 12, 2017, 12:34:37 PM

I'm integrating my asset that changes scenes/levels with PlayMaker and ideally I'd like to allow people to choose between loading a scene by name or by number. Is there a way in the PlayMaker action UI to show one or the other but not both? If not I can follow how level change actions are currently done and make separate actions for them but I was hoping to not have to :)
Thanks!

Hi,
how are you showing them (or how do you want to show them) ?
and how do they (or should they) change to name or number?

If you want to display numbers they still need to be converted as string.

I'm currently showing them using and FsmString and FsmInt and it looks like this:

Ideally it would have some way to toggle between using name and number to load a level like this:

Hi.
So you are making custom actions for your asset?

If so i would make 1 for number (index) and one for string, not combine them into 1 action.

Thanks for the offer! I bought the package and made some example projects to test and it seemed to work well.
