Variable Object
« on: December 13, 2013, 09:56:54 PM »
Hi I am trying to learn how to use the photon demo.

I was look at this FSM:

https://hutonggames.fogbugz.com/default.asp?W875

But I cannot seem to edit an Object variable. I noticed there is a variable called Camera Script of object type ThirdPersonCamera which point to the FSM Photon Player.

Yet when I create my own object I cannot point it to my player - cannot drag and drop or set its value.

Turns out you just drag and drop the desired script from the inspector into the playmaker editor variables tab.

So in this case I dragged and dropped the Third person Camera script into the variable tab.

I still dont understand why I could not set the value of a created object variable in playmaker though.

Hi,

 Did you properly assigned the fsmObject to be of the right type? always double check this, it's likely the reason.

bye,

Hi Jean,

Yeah. I had the correct fsm setup.

I set it to the ThirdPersonContoller and tried to drag and drop the script from the inspector into it.

Its not a big deal as I have a work around. Just thought it was strange.
