Pretty basic stuff i am sure however...
« on: March 23, 2017, 06:39:18 AM »
Hi ,

 i just picked up Playmaker yesterday as i think it will help me battle against my lack of programming knowledge. I am an animator/film maker and Unity is gradually creeping in to my end phase work flow more and more.

So i am trying to get my head around it a bit more. I have a very clear idea of what i am trying to achieve.
I am trying to get a UI button to load another scene (as i said this may be very basic stuff. I just cant find the terminology with in the actions)
If i can get this to work i can move on to my next step which is to have clickable icons linked to a scoreboard that play over a video in a scene.

I am not sure if this is the done thing but I am willing to pay for a session with someone to help get me to this all be it basic level.

I'm preparing to do something like this soon. When I will do it I will post exactly how I did it. In the meantime...

Some new Scene actions should come with the new Playmaker version. Until then I use this:



That's the level name. Make sure that the level (scene) is also added in your "Build Settings"! Then you have an option to make the loading Additive or Async, ... and even what to do when the LOaded Event... happened.

About the UI button making the "trigger"... read this topic:

Check Lane's post.

That's basically what I'm preparing to do... probably in the weekend :P

You will need the ugui proxy for playmaker, to make ugui buttons work with playmaker. You can find the tutorial here:

Hi,

You can find many tutorials in the tutorial section and in the user tutorial wiki
This can get you going :)

Also you can come on Playmaker's official discord channel

1st thing you need to get is : Ecosystem
after you installed it,
search for "ugui proxy full" and install it.
You will need this for ui buttons and so on.
