Simple action not working in build but in the editor

[secondsight]

So, I have a simple camera zoom in/out action on button press. It works fin in unity but not in the build. All other playmaker actions are working, though.

Unity 2021.3 and latest playmaker version.

Any tips appreciated !

Hi.
For which platform are you building?

What's the action name?

[secondsight]

I´m building for windows 10.

Basically I set the fov variable of the camera and then use ease float to another variable on button press / release.

Hi.
With a dedicated action or a Get/Set Property action?

[secondsight]

Set property (of the camera fov).

This is what I got:

I´m using the keypress to modify variables quite often. All others work also in the build, but this one does not.

You might need the Linker Wizard. I think you can download it from the ecosystem browser. There is a video somewhere on this forum that can help you figure it out if you search linker wizard. I would provide a link, but I forget exactly where it is. Hopefully that helps.

Hi.
There should be a "Set Camera FOV" action that can replace your set property

You might need the Linker Wizard.

Thanks a bunch ! Never heard of that before.

Yes, I´m using the set camera fov now. Still a strange behaviour I think.
Thanks a lot for the help !

Hi.
Well the problem with Get/Set properties is that its mirroring and there for unity build process does not know if that certain component is used.

Therefore you need to explicitly 'tell' unity to include that specific component to include in your build.

Linker wizard does that, during playmode it recognizes those actions and add it to a list file.

also  Get/Set properties are slower than dedicated actions, but you wont really notice unless you use 100s at the same time.

But its best to avoid using Get/Set Properties.
They are mainly designed for use with 3rd party scripts/assets.
