This package is just too frustrating....

I'm sending the state machine an event, i know i am, im debugging the string just before i send it to the darn state machine.... and the statemachine is acting like it never got it.....  Are there any known issues with events in playmaker? 

I just want to tear my hair out...  I've been programming for over 20 years, and nothing has been as frustrating as this...

Here is how im linking up the state machine to a script:

Code: [Select]

public PlayMakerFSM roomLogic = null;
        public string logicActiveEvent = "Activate";
        public string logicInactiveEvent = "Inactive";
And down, where i want to send the event, is this:

Code: [Select]

string thisEventName = (Active == this ? logicActiveEvent : logicInactiveEvent);
            Debug.Log("Event:" + thisEventName, this);
            Debug.Log("roomLogic:" + roomLogic, roomLogic);
            roomLogic.SendEvent(thisEventName);
I'm seeing the "Activate" come up in the console.  I look over at the state machine and it's still in it's starting state as if it never got the event.....

If you open the FSM Log window you can see the events that an FSM receives.

I just tested SendEvent here and everything seems to be working fine...

Is the FSM in a state that responds to the event?

The active state runs actions and process events. If you want the FSM to respond to an event in any state use a global transition (right click state "Add Global Transition").
