Playmaker 2.0

[Broken Stylus]

Yes, overall making new actions is limited by the difficulty of the abstract nature of coding itself. At basic levels it is quite straight forward.

When I'll have time I'll give Bolt a look and will see if it is possible to make Bolt (or any other similar tool, perhaps uScript if they're still kicking) recognize the elements that are specific to the Playmaker syntax found in Playmaker actions and have these elements transformed into nodes. Therefore turning Bolt into a custom action tool.

Hi,

 actually, It is something I am very interested in doing nonetheless, to speed up my process of creating custom actions.

 right now, there is a bottleneck still because no matter what it takes time to create actions, if I could simply with simple clicks setup the typical public fields, will all the usual decoration and perks ( cached component, typical everyframe setup, events, and usual routines we find as standard), I would greatly speed up the process.

Hi.
I actually use a midi controller (launchpad) with an app (that i build with playmaker) that can place text, do mouse clicks etc ( a bit like programmable G-keys on Logitech gaming keyboards)
It took a little bit of time to setup, but now it saved me a lot of time

So would it be easy to upgrade our project to version 2 or do we have to recreate all the fsm?

Hi,
 
I am not too sure about that, but I would think that they would be likely incompatible. We'll see.

Hi,

There was a question about that on Unity forums in January.

https://forum.unity.com/threads/playmaker-visual-scripting-for-unity.72349/page-60#post-4108702

I am a big fan of playmaker and I have my projects working very well. My question is when Playmaker 2 comes out, is it retrocompatible with the 1? Or is it just for new projects? Will the 1 continue to be updated?

And here is the reply from Alex

Hi! PlayMaker 2 will be compatible with PM1, you should be able to keep working on your existing projects with it. PM1 will continue to be updated with bug fixes and compatibility fixes for new versions of Unity.

Can you please let us know if this is true or maybe plans have changed since then?

Thanks.

Hi,

 I think Alex is doing his best to provided backward compatibility.

From what I know, there is right now a lot of work put on the Editor itself, while the runtime remains the same pretty much, so it seems it's heading that way where v2 may be compatible with v1.

But this is very early to turn this into a statement.

Bye,

I'm more and more intrigued by this design. Do you have pictures or a video of how you use this?

[djaydino]

Hi.
do you have a lauchpad? as im not sure if it works with something else at the moment.
the ui to setup is not very convenient. i have to update it one day.

here's a quick video on the program, the numbers/text you see in the 'MidiBridge' is me pressing the midi buttons.

sorry did not have a camera to show the controller itself with the lights etc.

[Broken Stylus]

Thanks.

Hi.
do you have a lauchpad?

No but this is a funny experiment.

So how's the progress on the new Playmaker so far?

I can't wait to see Playmaker 2.0. I am new to PM community and i have been using PM just for couple of weeks. I watched most of the videos (That's true) on Youtube related to PM and it all makes sense. Thank You all developers and contributors.
