Title: FSM Variable Output <SOLVED>
Post by: ch1ky3n on February 12, 2021, 12:08:12 PM

I fully understand what is input in the variable tab, but could someone enlighten me on what is the example of practical use of Output?

Thanks in advance

Right now Output variables are most useful in Templates run with the Run FSM action. Output variables will show up in the Run FSM UI and can be hooked up to local variables in the FSM. So a template can take some Inputs, do a bunch of work, and Output some values. It makes Templates more powerful and modular.

We will have some new docs to explain this better soon! And there are other ways Output variables will be used in the future...

Great! It is a new feature, so let me know if there are ways it could work better, or If you run into problems.

Is the new documentation already available? I'm trying to understand both, templates and inputs/outputs. I'm trying to have one FSM on hundreds of level prefabs that use individual variables (in a c# script it would be a public variable).

Do I do this with templates and inputs variables?
