[Solved] Comparing GameObjects

[AizenSousuke]

Hi

I'm trying to compare the owner gameobject to filter which state to run as shown in the attachment. However, the action doesn't return true; only false. Does compare game objects work on prefabs?

I don't believe it works with prefabs like that, a work around is to compare the gameobject name rather than the actual gameobject.

There isn't an action for that... :/

Hmm action for what ? Get the name ? Sure there is
Get propertry from the object and select name...

If u need any help send me a pm

You can use Find Gameobject to locate the object in the running scene and put it in a gameObj variable. Then reference the variable instead when you compare.

Get name action does what you're after, use it in conjunction with a get owner action and store the gameobject as a variable (the get name doesn't have an owner option). I would avoid find at all costs.

Use the custom 'Get Name 2' from here: http://hutonggames.com/playmakerforum/index.php?topic=6848.0

... this one allows you to set Owner as self.

Thanks all.. I guess that did the trick.
