Title: Send variable from script to PlayMaker.
Post by: mrosswa on November 24, 2013, 10:13:04 AM

I have a very simple JS script that looks like this:

var objectisvisible = false;
function Update(){

if(renderer.isVisible){
 
objectisvisible = true;
}
else
{
objectisvisible = false;
}
}

I'd like to pass that boolean out of the script and into playmaker so it can activate a state when it's true. It looks like it should be simple according to the tutorial videos but I've never done any real programming beyond ActionScript and I can't figure it out. What do I need to do to make this script pass out that variable (I assume with Get Property)?

Get Property should work.

Hi,

 You need to make your property public, that's the key to expose it inside the "Get Property" action.

also, I would actually recommand you fire a playmaker global event from your scripts when you detect a change of that visibility, it's better imo.

Code: [Select]

PlayMakerFSM.BroadcastEvent("my event");
you need to declare the use of playmaker at the top of your script as well

Code: [Select]

using HutongGames.PlayMaker;

 Bye,
