- big problem - FSM just dies or goes to sleep?

[mindlube]

Hi all, I've seen this problem in the Editor, as well as in a standalone build. It seems to occur when the game is minimized or loses foreground focus (and then is brought back in the foreground). I'm using OS X 10.8.2. The FSM just hangs and doesn't respond to any more events. Only happens occasionally. Has anyone else seen this? workarounds? this is a really bad problem - potentially  a  showstopper for me. And I have several months of work into building my FSMs with Playmaker. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

Ouch...
 
I have an app, but it's on windows that make heavy use of playmaker, and I haven't had any report. I have an update on this app planned for next week, I will publish and mac and see if it does it.

 Indeed, if it turns out fsm is unresponsive, this would be a nasty issue.

do you have repro within the editor? I work on mac, never noticed that, tho not really letting Unity run the scene in the background... Will watch out for this indeed.

Is your fsm within a prefab or something?

bye,

 Jean

Yes some of my FSMs are within prefabs! I am actually only using Playmaker to call methods and start/stop coroutines in C#. After sleeping on the problem, I remembered that we have source code to the Actions. So hopefully I can write some debug.logs in my actions, and find out what's going on with the FSMs and why my gameplay is just stalling out.  Playmaker is so great - it can't just stop working arbitrarily
