the FINISH event does not work for me[SOLVED]
« on: February 05, 2014, 01:14:18 PM »
I have followed Playmaker Tutorial 'Triggers' exactly from xtopher page.

when I move my capsule inside the trigger I can see the GUI text message: "Inside Trigger" but when I exit the second message "Not In Trigger" is not shown. I can see the proper State highlighted when it enters but not when it exists.
I've tried other examples using the FINISHED state but it never enters that state .

A screenshot of your setup could help.

Have you tried to add an "on exit" trigger event?

I wanted to send a .jpg of the FMS but I don't know how to insert it.
and yes, TonanBora, of course I have two transitions  'On Trigger Entry' and  'On Trigger Exit'.
I have a complete duplicate of the sample video from Basic Examples Tutorial and the name of the video is Trigger

When you reply, under the input text box there is a plus sign with attachments and other options. That is how you post a pic. Pic would really help.
Without a pic I am guessing you mean 'FINISHED' event not state. Are your Trigger events custom or are you using the System events 'TRIGGER ENTER' and 'TRIGGER EXIT'. System events can save you extra actions because they fire when the correct trigger event happens. If your using a FINISHED event on trigger exit then you are missing out on the simplicity of TRIGGER EXIT. This is not wrong to do it that way especially if other conditions need to be met.

I could not send the .png picture because it returns an error every time.
Nevertheless I cleared everything and re-started the tutorial with a clean slate... and behold! it works now. I don't know yet what I did wrong.
Thank you anyway
