Hello everyone,

I am working on a game where there is a Death Zone setup at the bottom of the screen (similar to that in most platformer games). I have an FSM on the Death Zone with a starting state that contains "Trigger Enter 2D" event (the game is in 2D). This event tests for a tag called Enemy and stores the object it collided with.

Once that fires, it sends an event to the another state that destroys the collided object.

The object I am testing has a movement setup where it moves towards (using the Move Towards action -- I tried finish distance 0, 1, -1 and same thing) an object just above the Death Zone and continue moving till it touches the Death Zone. However, it doesn't get destroyed at all.

I tried to change the setup from "Trigger Event 2D" to "Trigger Info 2D" but it is the same exact problem.

I thought maybe if the FSM isn't on the Death Trigger and on the enemy itself it would work. It didn't unfortunately.

Any idea how to resolve the issue please? It has been bugging me for hours (I have Death Trigger's Box Collider marked as trigger).

Thank you very much in advance.

Hello,

I have been trying to follow the tutorial from here.

I got the basics working with the movement and ball being launched.

The main problem however is in the collision between the ball and the bricks. I added Rigidbody2D on both the bricks and the ball, I also have a box collider on the bricks and a circle collider on the ball.

I have an FSM with a "Get Collision 2D Info" and it saves the object in a variable. Then a Send Event to another state (same FSM). The second state has a "Destroy Object" action that uses the variable mentioned earlier. Yet, when I hit play and the ball collides with the bricks nothing happens. It acts as if the collision didn't happen in the first place.

Thank you very much in advance.

Hello,

I am creating a top down 2D game and I have successfully created the player 4-direction movement using Get Key Down, Get Key Up and Translate actions with WASD no mouse controls.
However, when I try to make it so the player can move diagonally, I can't figure it out.

I have read multiple threads here but it seems I can't get it to work (specially when the Axis Extended Action). I have been away from Playmaker and Unity for a LONG time so I am a bit rusty. Not sure if I am supposed to use Translate or the Axis thing in other threads, which is better and why? Anyone can point to a tutorial with the Axis method if the Translate method doesn't work?


Thanks in advance.

Hello Playmaker community,

Recently I have decided to develop a little racing game, so I started on creating a controller for the car itself.

So far, I got the entire controller setup but I get this error
Car : Speeding : Loop count exceeded maximum: 1000 Default is 1000. Override in Fsm Inspector.

I understand that the problem can be resolved by editing some value in the Inspector; however, my question is that recommended? It sounds that I am doing something wrong. I went through the 4 FSMs I had and none of them had "Every Frame" or "Every Second" checked. Yet, I do have multiple loops active in each FSM (created on the same object).

Another question I had 4 FSMs on the car model I am using:
1- Movement (simply a state to with "Get Axis Vector" saving the Vector output and another state with Character Simple Move to get it to move forward and backwards).
2- Rotate (It has 1 state with "Get Axis" and saving the axis info in a float variable and the second state with "Rotate" which gets it to rotate left and right).

Now where the problems arise...

3- Speeding
One state with Get Key Down (checking if "W" is pressed and storing the info in global var "keyPressed") flowing to a Float Compare (to check if the speed isn't more than 10 -- speed here is the multiplier used in the previously mentioned Movement FSM) which would either flow to a state with Float Add (to increase speed if the speed isn't more than 10) or to a state with a Send Event (to send an event to Stopping FSM to stop the car and reset the speed to 0).
If the speed is less than 10 as mentioned above and it flows to the Float Add state (to increase the speed) another check is done on "keyPressed" to see if "W" is still pressed, if it is then it flows back to the previously mention Get Key Down and goes through the cycle again. If not, however, it flows directly to the Send Event state to stop the car.

4- Stopping:
Another FSM setup with similar to number 3 except I am checking if the "W" is released. If it is, then the car speed is set to 0 and if not then an event is sent back to the previous FSM to get the car to accelerate.

When I play the game, I find that the car accelerates at a constant speed of 1 (though W is pressed and never released) once I release the "W" key I get the speed set to 0 (as intended when stopping) but once I press "W" again to restart my acceleration I see that the speed is set directly to 10 without any scaling up and the message stated above (Car : Speeding : Loop count exceeded maximum: 1000 Default is 1000. Override in Fsm Inspector.) is displayed and the game is paused.

Any idea what am I doing wrong? Or do you have any pointers/tutorials on how to create a car controller with Playmaker?

Thank you very much in advance.
Best Regards,
Vallar.

Hello everyone,

I have trying for the past few days battle with creating an AI for a game I am working on.

The idea is that I have an enemy that doesn't moved and fixed to the ground (as if it is a turret), now what I want to do is what when the player is near the enemy it would taunt the player and keep looping the taunt. Once, the player gets closer, it starts attacking. If the player backs up and in enters the taunting distance the enemy goes into taunting loop again. If he exits, the enemy disappears.

What I have done so far is that I created 2 box triggers one inside the other (the first is large, the second is small) and then I created the FSM and actions to play the roar animations and such and it works perfectly fine (even with the exit animation).
The problem comes when the player enters the second trigger, in that case, it plays the animation for attacking (on the second trigger) and the roar/taunt animation (on the first trigger). I tried everything with "Stop Animation" action but it never worked.

I tried another thing, keeping all actions in one trigger instead of dividing things over two triggers and making the second trigger (smaller one) to just send an action to the larger trigger's FSM to play attack animation (instead of the first setup where each trigger handled his own animations separate from the other). Unfortunately when I did that, the attack animation never plays and it is the main loop with roar/taunt with no other changes.

Any ideas how I go about tackling this one?

Thank you very much.

Hello,

I have been following the tutorial at 3D Buzz http://www.3dbuzz.com/vbforum/sv_showvideo.php?v=3616 and in the tutorial it adds a feature where the player would blink and slide into screen when the player is destroyed by an asteroid.

I was able to successfully manage the blink and slide over time and all that what I can't do however is stop the object from blinking, how do I stop an action or stop the blinking after a certain amount of time.

Thank you very much
