Is it possible to use the Unit Job system with Playmaker?

Hi.
Theoretical yes, but you need to make your own custom actions.

I think that's way beyond my skills. Will this be officially supported in the future?

Hi.
I don't think there much request for this.

What would you use it for ?

Maybe better to make (or let someone make) a script for the part that you want to use it and you can make  (or let someone make) custom actions to trigger the script.

Nothing right now, just curious about the future and how it can give new options.

If I understand correctly it would help with huge amount of calculations so I had some ideas with raycasts and creating/moving huge amounts of objects.

Also if it helps with performance in any way, it would make it useful just for that, so I figured I ask what Playmakers plans are. You're not gonna leave this feature unusable right?

I was working on a game project that required some heavy-duty performance optimization. Playmaker was fantastic for managing game logic, but to tackle the performance issues, we turned to Unity's Job system.
At first, integrating the two seemed a bit daunting, but with some experimentation and a few late-night coding sessions, we got it to work seamlessly. The Job system allowed us to parallelize tasks, optimizing our game's performance significantly.
So, dive into the Unity documentation and experiment with small tasks, and you'll unlock a world of possibilities. And hey, if you're in the tech job market, consider checking out https://huntly.ai/.
