Set Int Value - No Globals?
« on: August 31, 2013, 03:07:39 PM »
So I can specify a global variable with "Set Float Value", but with "Set Int Value", I cannot specify any global variables, ONLY local variables. Why this is?

Also, there is no "Int Subtract" for some reason, only for floats. Why no love for ints? lol.

 I can't answer your first question, but your second:

there IS actually an "Int Substract"-Action, but it's called "Int Operator"
this action allows you to choose from different mathematic operations (add, substract, divide, multiplay, min, max)

Ah thanks, that is helpful. But I am still very curious as to the first part. Hopefully an admin can answer:)

I tested it right now. I created a global Variable "i_test" and made a state and the action "Set Int Value", I could select the global i_test-Variable from the Drop-Down-Menu.

Set Int Value for globals works fine for me as well.

What version of Playmaker are you using? 1.7.2 was up briefly but patched the same day with 1.7.3. If you have 1.7.2 please update to 1.7.3.

Yeah just a little! Remember to backup projects when importing updates. Always a good idea in Unity, not just with Playmaker!!

Random follow up. Now whenever I click an object, the playmaker editor makes me select "Edit Prefab" or "Edit Instance" before I can edit. Is there a way to set a default behavior?

Yes, in preferences: Confirm editing prefab instances.

But if you have multiple instances and are using Apply, please be aware of this bug:

Right now it's not a good idea to change the graph and action data in multiple instances and then try to apply those changes back to the prefab parent.

It's a button in the lower right corner of the PlayMaker editor window.
