Title: Game Object Is Active?
Post by: szomaza on May 26, 2014, 01:59:12 AM

Hi,

I can't seem to find an action that would tell me True or False after testing if a specific game object IS Active.

Is there such a basic action?
If not then what would be the most efficient workaround?

1.
There is "Game Object Is Visible".
I have not tested this yet but I guess when a game object is inactive then it also becomes invisible to cameras.
Right?

2.
I could also change the tag of the game object when I activate it back and forth then check for the inactive tag with "Game Object Compare Tag"
This would surely work.

3.
Any better solution?

Thanks
Szomaza

Exactly, thanks LampRabbit!

Why isn't this basic functionality a part of the Playmaker install?
Please add it.
