It's 'short circuit' by David Schroeder from 1983 for the Apple IIe



You can play it on a PC with apple-win, links, directions here:

I know 1 thing, there would be a LOT of FSMS!

I'm trying to make a jump pad (not necessarily with playmaker) for 1st person character controller with charactermotor, like the 3rd person "Lerpz"
tutorial on the unity tutorial area, you collide with it and get boosted in y. (up).  My search came up with
this script

//jump_pad2.js

#pragma strict


var moveVelocity : Vector3 = Vector3.zero;

private var thePlayerMotor : CharacterMotor;

function Start(){
    thePlayerMotor = GetComponent(CharacterMotor);
}

function OnTriggerEnter(WhatHitMe : Collider){
    if (WhatHitMe.gameObject.tag == "JumpPad"){
       moveVelocity = Vector3(0,50,0);
       thePlayerMotor.SetVelocity(moveVelocity);
    }
}


I have a flat rectangle (made a Tag 'JumpPad') with a larger box collider (is_trigger) and the script attached to it, but nothing
happens when I jump on it. Anybody know what I'm missing here? An FSM would be overkill  I think.

Playmaker noob tuts:

I couldn't get my playmaker elevator going, so I ripped off the one in the Unity 2d platform tutorial, it's at unity3d.com
resources/tutorials.


Once completed the elevator just goes up and down forever.

What I'd like is to be able to start and stop this elevator with a automatic trigger, like the noob door example, and also
start stop at bottom and top with buttons like the noob door buttons tutorial. And later with a mouse click
on the button.

Here are the components

1. the platform, called "MovingPlatform" it's a prefab (denoted by the blue cube) that is in level prefabs and also in platforms I didn't export any
moving platform effects, but I did copy the 'platformMover.js' script into my assets/scripts/2d/MovingPlatform , it didn't export with the assets/export unitypackage, I had to go /assets/import new asset to get it to show up. I
dragged it onto the prefab. Note the MovingPlatform had to be scaled to .23 to fit in my default scene.

Components from page 32 of the 2dgameplaytutorial.pdf, note you can save these things as .txt with the free Foxit reader, although it might look weird.

• Box Collider
  Without the Box Collider, the character and other objects would fall right through it!

• Rigidbody
  This also allows the crate to physically interact with the character and other objects. A 
  few settings deviate from the default. "Use Gravity" setting is off. The "Is Kinematic" 
  setting is on. The "Is Kinematic" setting prevents the character or other Rigidbodies 
  from moving the platform somewhere besides its predefined path. 

• Configurable Joint
  Like the Rigidbodies described in the previous section, this component restricts our 
  movement. Everything is the same except now ALL rotation is forbidden:

    ZMotion: Locked

    Angular XMotion: Locked

    Angular YMotion: Locked

    Angular ZMotion: Locked

    Configure in World Space:  Checked

                                                                                         33

• Pipeline, Mesh Filter, and Material
  These assign the proper mesh and texture so it renders in the scene. '

There are 2 game objects also needed 'PlatformTargetA' and 'PlatformTargetB, which has a little .tif file to show where it
is in the scene view, this was in /Gizmos, so I just copied it over into gizmos.

// This script must be attached to a game object to tell Unity where the Moving Platforms should move to.

// We'll draw a gizmo in the scene view, so it can be found....
function OnDrawGizmos() {
   Gizmos.DrawIcon(transform.position, "platformIcon.tif");
}


PlatformMover.js attaches to MovingPlatform
var targetA : GameObject;
var targetB : GameObject;

var speed : float = 0.1;

function FixedUpdate () {
   var weight = Mathf.Cos(Time.time * speed * 2 * Mathf.PI) * 0.5 + 0.5;
   transform.position = targetA.transform.position * weight
                  + targetB.transform.position * (1-weight);
}

Note the Target B was at the bottom and the Platform begins at the top Target A


So drag the targets over onto the script. 1 more thing, select the platform and add a /component/physics/box collider,
otherwise you can't ride the elevator.

I put some words and pictures with some of the youtube tutorials at

I have a few more partially finished. Now I know why there are so few.
For the pkg's I clicked on the scene and left out the playmaker.dll
Couldn't get the Orth health pickup pkg link to appear but it's here

I tried to duplicate this video, a variation of the grenade prefab-

http://web.me.com/henkdawson/Unity/Tutorials/Entries/2011/7/22_Playmaker__Cannon_Ball_Explode.html

Except he uses a 'cannon' and 'input manager' where I was trying to use the 1st person controller and
scene from samples/testlab/physics/throw grenade. I make grenades but they just hang in the air, I think
there's a problem with the 'lastgrenade' which refers to the grenadeprefab. I can't select
'none' for the /wait-finish event action of shootcannonball.

 I'm basically looking for a
grenade that explodes instantly on collision with an object, a.k.a 'bullet'

Hello,

 I just purchased this, been lurking for years, but the beta logos (chinese ideogram and 'playmaker) are displayed in the scene and game windows
in the samples, is this normal?
