Title: Rename Global Event
Post by: tinjaw on January 23, 2014, 04:09:55 PM

I have a global event that I have used that I wish to rename. If I select the event to rename it I get the hint "Use the Event Browser to rename Events across the project. Edit the name below to affect only this FSM."

See this screen capture: http://www.screencast.com/t/3u22QjYxn8

However, if I bring up the Event Browser, I don't see any way to rename the event.

See this screen capture: http://www.screencast.com/t/d53sZu91n5V

So how do I rename a Global Event?

Hi,

 Global event renaming is currently disabled for stability reasons. It will be back when a solution is found for safe refactoring.

Hi,

 nop, unfortunatly, this problem persists even in Unity5, I am not sure what are the plans to rework the underlying core of PlayMaker to solve this, but this is not part of the current beta.

Bye,

Just wondering if this has changed yet as we're beyond unity 5? I've been a tad liberal with event creation and just want to categorize some of them. e.g. "true" to become "Logic/true" etc

Yeah, any changes on this and renaming global vars?

Hi!

Wouldn't it be quicker for the moment to code a small tool to replace all references to an event with references to another event? Like the find and replace in a text tool?

Hi,

 it's not that easy, because of all the implication of serialized data.

but yes, we are looking for a high level management system that would allow this kind of operation.

 Bye,
