Title: Trigger Unhappy! [SOLVED]
Post by: uvavoo on June 12, 2014, 06:17:45 AM

Hi Chaps,
Fairly new to playmaker but really liking it. Having problems with On Trigger Enter.
Set up a simple FSM (see screenshots) for on trigger enter and on trigger exit. Its supposed to change a couple of variables in a script, and on exit, change them back. It works fine, but sometimes once only, sometimes twice!!
When I enter the trigger a third or fourth time, nothing happens! Probably something glaringly obvious, but I can't see it. Please help.

Try using "Trigger event" with 'On Trigger Exit' at State2, so it goes back to start only when player leaves the trigger.

Thanks for the reply, however your suggestion doesn't work either.
Cant understand why it does not go back to state 1 and wait for trigger to be activated again. Missing something but I don't know what.

In case anyone is interested I have solved this problem. (see screenshots).
However, this setup failed as the other until I restarted Unity. Then it worked flawlessly. So I believe my original set up would work (with 1982's suggestion included).
This new set up of course will trigger when any rigid body enters the trigger. So I may go back to my old set up and try again.

I don't know whether or not this is a Unity or a Playmaker issue. (having to restart Unity to make something work). Has anyone else had similar problems?
