Title: Why is get and setting sprites image so hard in playmaker ? [SOLVED]
Post by: t4d on June 05, 2018, 02:16:55 AM

Current I doing a really GUI intensive project and I keep running int o the same problem

playmaker can limit option when dealing with Sprites IMage  Raw images image data type

an example I have texture2D i get from a Asset store asset ( screen capture manager ) But I can not use the image directly in  playmaker  I have a work around where i send it to a BOLT variable and then get to back and apply the bolt variable ?? ( seem a poor way around the problem)

Now I;m trying to the image data from a unity Sprite renderer and apply to a unity image

there seem to be no action to deal with sprites to get or set the data and set or get property doesn't seem to get the data and set to a variable ??

what am i doing wrong ?

Hi,
You can find several 'sprite' actions on the Ecosystem (https://hutonggames.fogbugz.com/default.asp?W1181)

But maybe there should be indeed a set sprite added to the standard actions :)

no sprite or any texture action can not access the texture2D object that I get from teh Screen capture manager (i using screen capture manager because i need to capture the GUI as well )

playmaker not give access to a Texture2D object is the problem

Hi.
I have closed your other post as it is about the same issue.

Can you give the link to the asset that you are using?

Maybe i can make a custom action so it will store the image into a playmaker array instead, then you can use them directly.

I will also check the screenshot action if i can get it to include the ui (it is an older action from before the canvas system, that's why it does not include it in the picture)

here's the only asset i could find that captures the GUI

https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/utilities/ultimate-screenshot-creator-82008 (https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/utilities/ultimate-screenshot-creator-82008)

the Screen capture command in unity has a bug dating back to 2015
that why i'm using this asset

Hi.
I made a custom action that takes a screenshot including the ui.

You can get it from the attachment below.

The action name is 'Take Screenshot With Ui'

Can you test and see if it works on your end?

Hi.
did you try the attachment?

The actions stores directly in a texture variable.

Resource folder is loaded at the start of the game.

Title: Re: Why is get and setting sprites image so hard in playmaker ?
Post by: t4d on June 09, 2018, 05:15:49 AM

Tested on unity 1.8.3f1 / Playmaker 1.9.0f5
