No playmaker support for unity 5 and webgl export ? what a pity !!!

Will you support playmaker in webgl ? Webgl is the only that matters to update to unity 5.

I found a post in playmakers forum below:

Have a look at.... http://hutonggames.com/playmakerforum/index.php?topic=8691.0


Unity 5 WebGL - Playmaker
« on: October 31, 2014, 01:39:13 PM »

I am trying to use Playmaker to export to webGL in Unity 5 beta. It's all too new and shiny to work well togethor so it errors when I try to create a build

Internal compiler error. See the console log for more information. output was:
Unhandled Exception: System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException: The classes in the module cannot be loaded.

I tried both the release version and the beta version of Playmaker but each gave the same error. I have posted the bug to Playmaker support but posting here just in case anyone else knows of this or has indeed solved it before. Cheers

 

Support goes the other way around. Playmaker has to support Unity 5.

 

This is too complicated. One forum says that unity has to support it (to convert playmaker commands to webgl), now in unity's forum you say that Hutton Games should.


I remember a lot of members that was arguing about flash export that it was a problem of unity and not playmakers.


I hope someone from unity support to give a responsible answer !!!

 

Is it a DLL? I had the same problem (without webgl, just in editor), because a DLL was exported for .net 4 instead of 3.5 or something like that.

 

The onus is on the asset maker to make sure that his asset works properly with Unity.

If a bug is preventing it he should find out and make a bug report.

 

No, it really isn't. You just have to apply a little bit of logical reasoning.

If it is a third party product, then it is the responsibility of the developer of that product to maintain support for new versions of Unity.
If it is a built-in feature, THEN it's the responsibility of Unity to maintain support.

 

We've been working with Unity to support Playmaker in WebGL. They approached us to make sure the WebGL exporter supported all the features needed by Playmaker (the main one being basic reflection support, which was the problem with the Flash exporter). Unity announced that the WebGL exporter works with Playmaker at Unite. I think there may be problems with the latest Unity/Playmaker betas, but we'll get them sorted out asap...

 

Bear in mind Unity 5 isn't released so being all pitchforky is just a little wild

 

i had the same problem and filed a bug a few days ago. i didn't notice though, it was the combination of playmaker and unity5 causing the error..

Phew. I'm glad I stumbled upon this post today, as I was the reporter of the original error. I'm glad to hear that the Playmaker guys are on the case. Awesome as ever. Thank you!!!

..and thanks too Josh for the clue. I'll try this tonight if I get a chance. Cheers

 

Actually, I just tried it and it seems that the latest Playmaker beta 1.8 already has those exclusions throughout the code, but the build still fails.

 

Please import Assets/PlayMaker/Versions/PlayMakerNACL.unitypackage
That version has networking stripped from the dll.
However, I still ran into problems with the latest beta.
Will submit a bug report...

 

I submitted the project in a bug report to Unity/You a few days ago but I have no idea of the bug number sorry :
(.

The editor log can be found at my original post at : http://hutonggames.com/playmakerforum/index.php?topic=8691.0

I can re-send the project/bug report again if required. Let me know.
Cheers

 

Okay, that's sent. Apologies for the delay. I haven't received a bug number yet though but the bug is from simon at pigobo dot com

Edit: case # 645839

 

Hi Josh,

I submitted a minimal Playmaker project that I still couldn't get to compile: 646180
I got a bunch of python errors that sounding familiar from the forums, so maybe it's a local setup problem.
I'll search the forums... but let me know if you're able to build that project on your end...

Thanks!

 

Nope, it fails on an empty project. It hangs on Compiling Scripts... It seems to hang the whole system and I have to reboot.
I tried deleting ".emscripten_cache" as suggested in another thread, but that didn't help.
I've installed many of the 5.0 betas, and have been able to build before...
What else can I try?

(Good to know that the Playmaker project builds for you!)

 

I got WebGL builds working. I completely uninstalled all previous betas and re-installed the latest version and it now works. I'll let you know if I run into any other issues...

 

Okay, thank you all! Hopefully the Unity update gets released soon Although I'm trying with NACLnow.

EDIT. I tried to import the Playmaker NACL into the project but the Unity Editor Stopped Working. I have submitted a bug/ the same project again for this- case: 646754

 

In addition, since installing the NACL dll, whenever I load my project I can no longer edit Playmaker FSMs and even without the project running I get an infinite series of errors. See attached screen shot.

The only way I've found to prevent the continuous loop of errors is to re-import the playmaker defualt package.

 

Please submit a bug: Main Menu > Playmaker > Tools > Submit Bug Report
This will give us more info on your setup.
Please copy paste any other errors in your console.

EDIT: Also please start a thread in the Playmaker Beta Group. Thanks!

 

I sent a bunch of emails to the Playmaker Beta test group and reported the bug. I tried a few different ways to build wedGL and I get errors at every turn I attached the latest editor log to the last email but I have attached here too ..

 

Just to update this thread, it looks like the problem is with addons that are not Unity 5 compatible yet. We're working on making all official addons compatible with Unity 5 asap. Third party addons will need to be updated by their authors (but feel free to post on the Playmaker forums so we can help).

NOTE: If you make addons for Playmaker please PM me for access to the Playmaker Beta to test Unity 5 compatibility.
