Listen to / register for Playmaker events in C# script [ONLY WITH WORKAROUND]

[FrozenTarzan]

Hi there,

I have searched a lot now and found a few posts that target the same problem, but there was no good answer yet. See here:
http://hutonggames.com/playmakerforum/index.php?topic=933.msg3844#msg3844

I want to receive events from a PlaymakerFSM. Ideally direct events and broadcasted events.

There is an action called "Send Event", where I can choose to send an event to a "GameObject". But how do I listen to this event in my script/gameobject? Especially to custom events created by myself?

But even if I could get the "Send Event" action working, how do I listen to broadcasted events?

The workaround would be to create a dummy FSM for my gameobject and forward all events with the "Send Message" action. But this seems to be hacky, right?!

Hi,

 PlayMaker events only exists within Fsm, so currently you can't hook to PlayMaker events in scripts. I mentionned this already, and hopefully one day we will have a way to hook to that, but for now, simply forward events one way or another. I do use your technic often, so yes, hacky, but actually necessary. you can also forward directly to a specific class if you implement them in custom actions.

Bye,

 Jean
