Scene variable doesn't work in builds. (SOLVED)

[shanahan_sweet]

I'm having a weird problem: I'm using Get Property on an object variable which contains a scene. When running my project in the editor this works fine. I'm able to save the name of the scene as a string. In builds however, the Get Property action doesn't register the scene object. It's like it doesn't exist.
I know this is a little confusing to put into words, and I'm more than happy to elaborate if necessary. Just wondering if anyone has run into this before.

Hi.
You probably want to use Linker Wizard or use/create a (custom) dedicated action.
Get/Set Properties are mirroring and therefor not always included in builds, linker wizard will help there.

is this scene on a script or within a fsm.

Hey, thanks for the response.
I also initially thought it was an issue with the get/set property actions and was going to use the linker wizard. However, I did some additional testing, and it turns out this is not the case. Both actions function perfectly on their own in my builds. It's only when I try to use a scene object that things break. I suspect it may be a bug within Playmaker or Unity itself.

I've attached an image of what it is I'm trying to do.

I should also mention I'm using Playmaker version 1.9.0, Unity version 2020.1.6f1, and exporting my project for PC only.

Hi.
Maybe you can use the Action : Get Scene Name
There are different options on it.

Thanks, I tried Get Scene Name, but wasn't able to achieve the same result. I think my main concern now is determining what's causing this apparent exporting bug, and what I can do to fix it. I'm currently upgrading to a new version of Unity & Playmaker. I'll post my results soon.

Hi.
On the image i can see that it says UnityEditor.SceneAsset.
Which means that this will only work in unity editor.

upgrading/updating won't help.

Oh wow, I'm glad you caught that, because I never would have considered it. I suppose that solves my problem in a way.
I'll have to find a workaround.
Thank you for your time.
