It's not so much an action I need to share but more a question I need to ask
I took a look at the playMaker documentation for creating custom actions, specifically the "Action Attributes" section
https://hutonggames.fogbugz.com/default.asp?W352
My question is, can I get some examples of situations where each UIHint is used?
I understand how to use the "Variable" Hint (they're many actions in playMaker that use it)
C# Example: [UIHint(UIHint.Variable)]
public FsmFloat health;but I'm not understanding the other Hints, the "Description" Hint in particular, how do I use it?
Can I get an example in code?
I would have posted in "Playmaker Help", but they never answer my custom action questions there
-
The UIHints are described here:
https://hutonggames.fogbugz.com/default.asp?W352
The best way to find code examples would be to search for the UIHint in the action source files (Find in Files...)
-
Here is a script using them, hopefully it answers your questions.

Lane, awesome thanks, this does answer my question
and Alex, it's like you just skimmed through my question and didn't really read it
-
Sorry - must admit I did skim it (probably on my phone), just saw that you found the link to the docs... Lane did a much better job! :)

Alex
I accept your apology :)
