Questions about Linker Wizard
« on: October 21, 2022, 08:31:57 PM »
Hello,

I have a few questions about Linker Wizard:

1. Is it only required for get/set property actions?

2. Do I have to play through my whole game when I use linker wizard?

3. Every time I build the game, do I have to play through the game again, or only the parts where I added new features?

Thanks!

Hi.

1 :
  • Call (static) method
  • Invoke Method
  • Send Message
  • Start Corouting
  • Enable Behavior

These might also require linker wizard.

2:
no but you need to play through the places where you have used those actions.

3 :
This i am not sure, i never used linker wizard yet (as i create custom actions to avoid using Get/Set Properties actions, which is still the best solution but not doable for everyone)

Sorry to reply to an old topic. I was wondering if I have the linker wizard play through a time I use an action once, do I have to do it for every other time I use the same action? Thanks!

Hi.
I believe once should be ok, if you are 100% sure.

But best way to test is to make a build

Linker Wizard is such a pain in the *ss. As djaydino points out, I would try to avoid it as much as you can. I recently got rid of all the actions mentioned and replaced them as well with custom actions.

I highly recommend to everyone looking into writing your own custom actions. More so if you only use set/get property and invoke methods. They are very simple to create and you start to get the hang with c#. And you'll quickly see that it's a lot of fun to do so for your favorite plugins for example.

Hi.
Its exactly the way I learned C# ,
By creating custom actions.

At the beginning I started to look at existing actions, copy it and make some changes to my needs.

The I started to combine some actions, like for some custom calculations.
