How do I get access to values inside a custom action?

[cdutoit]

Hello -

I'm using a 3rd party library to read Tweets. It has this custom action which I'm calling:



When it completes, the 'Loaded Tweets' contains the actual Tweets. 'Loaded Tweets' is defined in the action as:

public FsmString[] loadedTweets;

So, when I then go to the next state in my FSM, how do I actually reference the Loaded Tweets? I need to iterate through them to do what I need to do, but I don't know how to refer to loadedTweets in the next state.

Thanks for you help!

Hi,
if the custom action is written correctly you should add a string variable to the Elements.
then you can the use strings variables

the way i can see it on the picture, the "Loaded Tweets" gives the amount of Tweets that should be loaded.

and the Element will give the variable.

@djaydino thanks for the reply.

Load Tweets does have strings. It is defined in the action as:

Code: [Select]

public FsmString[] loadedTweets;

So as you said, Element(s) contain the string values.

However, I still don't know how to "get" at them in my next action. How do I refer to those elements in a subsequent action so that I can iterate through them?

Thanks again

Hi,
make a string variable, then press on the = sign and that variable should be shown

if you want them into a list you can use ArrayMaker
