    Sorry about that, not sure why you're not getting the activation email.
    I activated it manually and sent an email notification.
    See you on the Playmaker Forums :)

    Playmaker is really helpfully, but even with this tool I can´t get my script to run.

    It is so simple, but too complicated for me: I want to transform the player to a specific location after touching a collider. Like going in a portal and beam to another location. I think it´s pretty easy for the most of you, so please give me a hint.

    This is a tutorial for Triggers,



    do similar, but with these changes:

    1) Listener state have only one Trigger Event action - OnEnter. In this action store collider in game object variable.

    2) in Enter state, put Set Position action (without other tutorial actions) and set target for it the newly created game object variable. Set vector or XYZ values for new position.

    Thanks for your fast response! I´m too tired after 14h work ;-) I have forgot to make the cube as a trigger. Now it works fine :)

    It can be hard to get this info, but this is what I know thanks to devs at Playdead and Variable State:

    INSIDE used Playmaker heavily to prototype and develop gameplay, some systems were converted to code, others shipped as PlayMaker graphs. For example, this editor screenshot shows the PlayMaker FSMs used in a shipping scene (they replaced the PlayMaker icon with the blue P icon):

    INSIDE_EditorScreenshot.jpg

    It's the same scene that they gave us this FSM screenshot for:

    INSIDE_FSM.jpg

    For another example of how they used Playmaker, check out this presentation on the audio system:
    http://www.schmid.dk/talks/2016-02-11-aes/schmid-AES_2016-The_Boy_from_INSIDE.pdf

    Another interesting tidbit, INSIDE does a lot of streaming (no load screens between levels) and we worked with Playdead to optimize Playmaker for this scenario. Those optimizations shipped with Playmaker 1.8 :)

    Virginia used Playmaker extensively in the shipped game. Actually Variable State said Virginia wouldn't have been possible without Playmaker! :)

    I wasn't able to get a lot of info on Firewatch other than the basics that they used Playmaker and NGUI in the shipped game. But you can find a lot of articles and videos on the development of the art style and building the world that are well worth checking out.

    Thanks for the info. It's always nice to see actual example from actual games that shipped. It's also nice to see FSM's from other devs. Mainly when you (I) work ... we get to use the same tactics we get used for, and then you see a FSM from someone else and you see a total different approach that actually might be better.

    Sometimes I'm feeling bad for picking this up when it was on sale :oops:
    You're putting so much support and effort into Playmaker each and every year, it's incredible.

    And it's astonishing how many third-party plug-ins come with Playmaker-support these days.

    Truly one of the assets I recommend to everyone.

    A reminder that if you use Get Property, Set Property, Call Method on platforms that use stripping you need to make a link.xml file to keep the classes/methods/properties you're using.

    We made a handy Linker Wizard to help with this:
