How to set FSM text to TextMeshPro ?

[Stain Corb]

Hi there,
I downloaded Textmesh Pro package from the Ecosystem but when I add the script "Set Textmesh Pro Text" to a TMP Text, its in a red box saying that the game object requires a textmesh pro component


 I read I need "UGUI" action but I cant find it in the Ecosystem or after I imported the TMP from the ecosystem.


I followed this chat but....

What am I doing wrong?

the easiest way for me is to use Set property>Text>Set text

Thanks that works for now, But Set Property is very unstable and not duplicatable, every time I need the script I have to manually look for the property, Long term this is not good.

But for now, I can use it since it's just referential stats.

Does anyone else know a better solution for this?

Hi.
you should always try to avoid Get/Set Property actions as they are mirroring and also for some platforms you need to use Linker Wizard to make sure they are included in build.

You can find actions here :

Thanks for the reply, Sadly I will not use git hub to download anything for unity.

I am not a coder, it's the reason I use Playmaker, usually whenever I add codes to unity not using the ecosystem something breaks (80% of the time). So I won't even risk it. Also, I would not even know where to copy stuff from GitHub.

I guess I will pursue this issue in the future.

Hi.
Set property is not the way to go

Since TMP is now default text in Unity 2021 Playmaker should add all these actions to the default install.
