I have a simple FSM with 2 separate Waits in it. I thought that a Wait will not go to the FINISHED transition until the Wait is completed, but in this case the second Wait, which is 3 seconds long not only completes in just 1 second, it causes the state machine to jump back to the 1 second Wait and perform the FSM tasks over again. And it's looping like this infinitely. It never gets to my last state to EnableAI.
If I remove the first delay then the FSM works, but just not the way I want it to because I need the first 1 second delay to be timed correctly.
[EDIT]
I'm using Unity 5.6.4p3 with the latest Playmaker.

Hi, can we see what's in the states? It will be easier to understand where is the problem.
-
Sure. I'm attaching them here.
-
Final action.
-
Great, i'll have a look :)

Have you tried setting wait times under variables to see if the problem persists? And also try changing transition names instead of finished. I know it should work with finished everywhere, but give it a go.
Also, check if your finished event isn't marked as global by accident.
-
I tried setting transition names instead of using FINISHED, but that didn't work. Haven't tried variables. What do you mean by FINISHED being marked as Global? I don't see that anywhere.
-
I'm not even sure that FINISHED can he marked as global event since it's built in, but i'm afk now so i can't check.
Tried saving wait times as variables?
Also, since it's a small fsm, could you recreate it too see if it occurs again? Did you copy/ paste wait states?
-
No, I haven't tried saving wait times as variables. I can't test at the moment, but maybe later. No, I didn't copy and paste the states.
-
Looking at the state it's simple enough, it should wait 3 seconds. It sounds like the FSM is restarted for some reason?
What I would test, to make sure nothing else is restarting the FSM, is to create a new scene and just paste over this FSM and see if it has the same behavior (make sure it's this FSM Only). If it still has the same problem I would disable the actions in the states and only leave the Wait actions and try if that made any difference.
-
When I get back to it I'm going to try to just create it again from scratch. I think something happened to mess it up.
Thanks for all the help.

I started making this FSM over again and saw the really stupid error that I made. For some crazy reason I have a SpawnSkeleton state in the chain, which basically spawns the skeleton again, which causes the infinite loop. D'oh! I'm kind of embarrassed for making such a crazy blunder and I have no idea why I did it, but there it is.
-
Yeah, it's usually something like that :)
