10 - Platform Puzzle Chest Opening Game (Set Color Value)[SOLVED]

[kuhnen]

I'm following along this tutorial but I reached a problem.

I created global color variables (which are defaulted to black) and on the setup stage on an FSM I used "Set Color Value" to give another color to the global color variables. In another FSM I have an action to Change Material Color amd select the global variable as the color, but when I run the game, it changes to the default color (black) and not to the color that I used on the "Set Color Value" action. If I change the color on the global variable itself, then it works fine. Apparently it's the "Set Color Value" action that is not working. Any ideas?

Attached pictures of my FSM.

Hi,

 maybe the fsm where you set the material color is fired before the fsm where you set the color?

 Try to create a global event, that you fire when you have changed the colors, just to make sure, especially when both wants to do its job on start, it's always going to be a race condition issue.

bye,

Hey thanks a lot for the reply! Setting a global event didn't seem to work

But I followed your advice about the racing condition and added a very small delay before the change material action, and it worked.

Thanks again!
