Basic stupidity on my part
« on: December 06, 2011, 01:41:01 PM »
It's like I'm hitting every wall available to do well...anything.
Anyway after installing playmaker today I do not have the Playmaker text in the top window right after Terrain.
I have the version in the components section right above Iteen in which it has PlayMakerFSM and PlayMakerGUI

But that is all. I've no ability that I can comprehend to open playmaker FSM editor.
Now I've installed hard surface pro which has it's Fresnel reflection value (thing) where the Playmaker would be. Not sure if that is somehow blocking aspects of the plugin.

Anyay I'm staring at a $100.00 GUI with some door object examples yaay.

Beyond that, I'm clueless.

So I looked at this post here:
http://hutonggames.com/playmakerforum/index.php?topic=174.0

And it seems similar to my situation. Now I haven't moved anything. Just trying to add it to my project. I've restarted multiple times & no matter what the Playmaker menu does not show up in the windows bar.

Based on the videos I've no idea how to interface with this thing without it.

Any suggestions would be most helpful & thanks ahead.

Hi,

 ok, just as a check can you do the following:

1: open unity ( close it if it currently open)
2: create a new project
3: install the playmaker package form the asset store

 if you still don't see the playmaker menu

4: select the camera gameObject
5: in the top menu: select Component->Playmaker->PlayMakerFSM
6: select and expand the playmaker component added to the camera
7: click on the "edit" button and the playmaker editor will show up


NOW, I am aware this is definitely not the right way or any solution to your problem, you should have the playmaker menu available.

Are you on mac or windows? and which version of unity do you have?

 Bye,

 Jean

There is a known conflict with Hard Surfaces Pro:

Try renaming or removing either MouseLook script.

Let me know if that was the problem...

Thanks so much to each response. I apologize for the late response on my part. In my impatience I did figure out a way to make it work the same day I posted this. What I did was transfer my entire project to a new one & prioritized my plugins to install Playmaker before Hard Surfaces Pro. Once I saw the Playmaker at the top I installed HS pro. This solved the problem for me. Not sure whether it's HS Pro or Unity but I took my uneducated guess & figured it was Unity not allowing more 'things' whatever they are called at the top bar of the program. Seemed to be the appropriate solution. I now have both but with just Playmakers window instead of the rather unneeded window of HS Pro at the top of Unity's interface. If I where more patient I would have tried both your suggestions but alas I'm ADD on this stuff.

Again thank you for your responses.
