Title: Send event back
Post by: emildragan on January 30, 2019, 03:47:18 AM

Hello,

I have a very simple question and playmaker setup, maybe it's very simple, but any help would be appreciated.

My setup looks like in the attachment. It's a piano key that has an animation, a sound and a trigger. When the collider is in the trigger, the piano key plays the animation and the sound. The animation is done, instantly reset, but when I want to trigger it again only the sounds works, not the animation.

Thank you for your support.

What does your "Send Event" action do? Most of the action is cropped in the screenshot but it looks like you are sending a finished event back to itself. You don't need this since a finished event will execute when the actions have been processed (not the case if you ticked the every frame checkbox though). This shouldn't be your problem, just worth pointing out  :-)

Can you post screenshots of your animator window? Typically the way I would handle this kind of animation is to create an animator state that activates via a trigger, then when you want to trigger the animation use the Set Animator Trigger action.

Cheers,

Simon

Thank you for your quick response.

Basically, what I want to achieve is to play at a piano. Each piano key has an animation, moving down and up again and a sound attached. When I press the first time a key, it's pressing down and plays the sound correctly. If I want to press for multiple times, it plays the sound, but not the animation.

I have made the setup this way: on trigger event on key, send animator play, sound play and send event back to the trigger so it can play again.

I have attached again the prt screens with my playmaker setup.

Thank you.

I don't think your problem is in your FSM, can you post screenshots of your Animator window so I can see the state machine setup?

I'm guessing that your animation is stuck in the state that plays the animation.
