Sounds like a useful trick for managing complex states in Unity! PlayMaker can be a lifesaver, hope this helps people streamline their workflow. Definitely gonna check it out later!

Hi everybody, firstly thanks for playmaker. It's awesome. And for this forum ^ ^

I'm using Unity 6 and the latest version Playmaker and Cinemachine version 2.10.4. I believe that's the latest version that playmaker supports.

I'm making a 2D platformer where I spawn minions. I use a background with a collider on it so my mouse picks and clicks will register so I can spawn my mininions wherever I want onto the level.

Whenever I use Cinemachine and attach my character to a virtual camera, and my main camera's projection mode is set to perspective, it doesn't work anymore. I can only spawn things slightly to the side of my character or right ontop of him. Things never spawn where I click. I have the virtual camera following my character using the tranposer settings. I've messed with moving my camera's distance in relation to my character and the field of view settings and neither of those things solves it.

When I change my Main Camera to Orthographic however, it does go back to working though.

Can I solve this somehow? Or is this a bug?  I want to use perspective.

Is it possible instead of ending an fsm because of a loop to send an event ?

I don't see any action for this.

Thank you.

Yes, it’s possible! Instead of ending the FSM, you can add a transition triggered by a loop-detection condition and have it send a custom event. You may need to implement the loop check manually or use a script action, since there’s no built-in action for this.

I see post-processing actions for playmaker to adjust effects, but none of them seem to recognize my post-processing volumes. I'm currently using URP 2022.2.19. Are the current playmaker actions for adjusting post-processing out of date? Specifically, I'm trying to adjust the intensity of Chromatic Aberration and Lens Distortion in real-time.

Thanks!

You're right to check—most of the existing PlayMaker post-processing actions were built for the legacy Post-Processing Stack v2 and are not fully compatible with URP's Volume system, especially in Unity 2022+.

In URP, Post-Processing is handled through the Volume framework, and many of the older actions don’t recognize or interact with the new system out of the box.

To control Chromatic Aberration or Lens Distortion in real-time, you’ll likely need to create custom PlayMaker actions or use a C# bridge script to manipulate the Volume components directly. Alternatively, some users have had success using Set Property or Invoke Method on the volume profile components, but it requires a bit of setup.
Let me know if you’d like a code snippet or example action—I’ve worked around this myself.
Hope this helps!

Hi there! Is there a way to hide the PlayMaker icons that show up on the scene hierarchy for gameobjects that have PlayMakerFSM components?

I'm using an editor asset called Hierarchy Designer that puts component icons on the right side of the hierarchy, and they overlap with the PlayMaker icon. (You can see in the image that there are overlapping PlayMaker icons. The ones from Hierarchy Designer, which I want, and the ones from PlayMaker, which I'd like to disable)

I tried removing all the PlayMaker icons in Assets/Gizmos, but the hierarchy icon persisted.

In the Playmaker Editor window (the main one), there's Preferences at the bottom right, one of which General or Interface IIRC, that has an option to dismiss the gizmos and/or icons. I think it allows for masking the icons from the hierarchy.
