Title: send event to fsm missing [SOLVED]
Post by: blackant on March 09, 2013, 01:02:50 PM

following tutorial, this time i can't find the "send event to fsm" function listed inside the state machine

i tryed send event but i'm lost with a message error:

Code: [Select]

"required field...
cube fsm on sendevent : sendevent"
this make hard to follow the tutorial and understand what seams to be simple at the beginging...

You have to select the "Send Event"-Action, and there you can choose by "Event Target"

- Self
- GameObject
- GameObject FSM
- FSM Component
- Broadcast All
- Host FSM
- Sub FSM

You want to choose GameObject FSM :)

You want to know what "FSM" means?

Short for "Finite State Mashine": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite-state_machine

It's what PlayMaker is about; state-driven procedure :)

For the "Open" Problem: You have to make an Event yourself.
Watch this Tutorial:

thx mayhem.

the video link you sende me is the one i'm following and posing me problems.

i suppose the event you talk is the one of the 0:45'.
i already made it, i will search by myself why it doesn't appear in my list.

and finally some fiew seconds later, i fund the solution.

the event created must be checked as global (not shown in the video how was older than my version).

Yeah, some of the videos were made with older versions. I'll try to add annotations where things have changed...
