BROADCAST ALL question [solved!]

[Tonda]

Let's say I have 50 identical prefabs that were created during the scene all listening for a global trigger.

How could I set it up to BROADCAST the global event to just 5 of them (random)?

Just one idea- there's an action to send events to objects of a certain tag or layer- its on Ecosystem "Send event to tag"- you could randomize their tags on each run- then send event to all objects of a tag type-

Cool idea! I def. think that has merit and Im going to grab that off ecosystem.

For this particular problem, I need an exact number of triggers. It seems the tag randomization would make it so that a random number (10% for instance) of the precomps will fire but not exactly 5 (If im understanding your method correctly.)

Hi,
i might have a solution for you by using an array list
try if this sample works.

i had to build this quick so i am not sure if it is exported right.
if not let me know and i will try to make a video tomorrow and re-upload the sample.

Oooh, thanks a ton for compiling this, I'll try it out, I need to grab some stuff off ecosystem for it. will report back!


edit: I got hung up at State 5 (Array List Remove At) with the error "Less than 0 or more than list count. Parameter Name: Index" , trying to troubleshoot now

Hi,
is this in my sample or in your own project?
if you have no wait in you setup you might try adding a state before state 5 and put the "next frame Event" Action.
i will make a video today and i will also update my sample
