NOOB HELP! Custom events not working following tutorial
« on: June 07, 2013, 05:53:13 PM »
Hi

This is all new to me so please be patient!

I've been following the basic tutorials and have been stuck on the Using Events (following Doors and Triggers) one for days now. When I change the TRIGGER ENTER and TRIGGER EXIT on the door to custom events Close and Open, it plays as it should when I alt click the state BUT when i use the capsule to zoom over to the door, it now won't open and the capsule goes straight through it.

If I add the button trigger (cube) using the Open and Close events, it also acts weird: the doors start open and then close after 3 seconds when the capsule goes over the button.

I've scrupulously checked the controller stuff against the previous video and it seems fine. I have found that some of the actions on the video are now obsolete (namely Send Event to FSM). I'm wondering if I've missed another trick?

This is driving me nuts. Please help! (I'm working off a mac if that makes any difference)

Thank you!

Hi,

 TRIGGER ENTER is a built in event that is linked to Unity trigger system, if you swap this with your custom event, it won't work anymore, you will have to fire the your "Open" event somehow, and there is only two ways, either using somewhere "TRIGGER ENTER" or use the action "Trigger event" within a state.

bye,
