Hi,

- you can add an event that target a PlayMakerFsm Component and send an event from there.



- If you have PlayMaker Utils, there is a wizard to create a component that features a public method ad will send an playmaker event as a result:

Menu PlayMaker/Addons/Tools/Event Proxy Wizard

Bye,

 Jean

Hi,

then, you should use the event proxy wizard and edit it to accept the data and forward it to the playmaker eventdata before sending the playmaker event.

 what is the data? I'll do a quick example to show you how to do it.

 Bye,

 Jean

Hi,

 ok, can you get the package again from the Ecosystem, I have modified the wizard to let you add a paramter, so simply select Vector2, save changes and your proxy method will now have a vector2 param :)

 Let me know how it goes.

 Bye,
