Title: Improved prefabs
Post by: Marc Saubion on June 26, 2018, 05:12:16 AM: Hi.

As some of you may already know, Unity has finally release a massive improvement on the prefab workflow, allowing us to have prefabs within prefabs. This is available on the beta "2018.2b improved prefab".

I tried it these last few days and found an issue with Playmaker. With the new system we have a prefab mode, it's like having a new scene for prefab edition. Though playmaker will still allow editing of the FSMs from the project folder, before entering prefab mode: these modification won't work and the editor should be locked outside of prefab mode.

Thanks.

Thanks again for looking into this! :D

I checked and you can edit from selecting the prefab in the project folder, it will work. Until you make changes in prefab mode where you previous modifications don't exist. Then, prefab mode will override the FSM with these values and you will lose some of your work.

I'm not aware of an issue with prefabs and CallMethod in other versions of Unity. Check that you have the latest version of Playmaker. If you're having this issue with the latest version please start a new thread (since it's not related to the new unity prefab workflow) and we'll figure out what's going on... thanks!

just a small reminder that Unity 2018.3 is nearing the end of beta testing (it's at beta 7 as of now), so it would be cool if we get support in a decent timeframe when it comes out, since it's quite slow now. It works, but it's slow :)

The current PlayMaker Beta is addressing the new workflow yes, in terms of speed, I don't know how it will affect things though.

Bye,

Jean
