[solved] How to detect "no user interaction" with playmaker ?

[cmvrgr]

I want to know if I can make a system with playmaker that If user doesnt press a hardware button or not execute any FSM  for a specific amount of time to get back to main menu....

Any help will be appreciated.

Best regards.

Hey there.
 
Just set up an FSM on an empty Gameobject with a Wait and Any Key action. Create a float variable for your time limit and hook it into the Wait action.

When the Any Key action detects a key press, fire off the Reset Timer event and reset the time limit variable, and if nothing is detected have the Wait action Finish event fire off the Shutdown event to return to main menu.

You could flesh it out quite easily too. For example you could make the time limit a global and have certain state machines reset the timer, or you could watch the input axes and mouse to have them reset the timer also.

Hope this helps

Works perfectly... do you have an idea on how I can track mouse X,Y movements that will reset the timer ?

Thanks

Hi. Use the Get Mouse X or Get Mouse Y action and map the result to a float variable. You could track both but realistically tracking only one will do.

Then use the Float Changed action with your variable to check if the mouse position has moved and fire off the Reset Timer event as needed

It worked perfectly 

I would like to thank you for helping me out.....
