Error with SendEventToFsm

[nemodain]

Hello,

First off must say loving the system, still learning though. I am getting tons of errors, I followed your directions on setting everything up and have it all installed no issue's.

However, all the SendEventToFSM are returning errors with this comment...

This action is obsolete; use Send Event with Event Target instead.

I have been able to replace some of the Send Event To FSM with the Send Event with Event Target, however, several of the Send Event To FSM will not allow me to change them with the settings you have in place.

I have included a picture to help explain my dilemma.



Is there any recommendations on what I need to do to correct these issue's?

thank you so much,

Nemo

Hi Nemo! Sorry for delayed answer. First thank you for your support and kind words, and about your problem here is what you can do to solve that issue with obsolete actions:


On this image you can turn off error debug for your obsolete action, actually those actions works normally but that error is annoying as hell. Turn that off and system will not check for obsolete actions anymore. To access settings in Playmaker just go to preferences at the bottom of Playmaker editor and on top you will see menu that you can choose what you want to set choose error debugging and turn off obsolete actions. I also turned prefab restrictions cause that is annoying for me too. Check those setting maybe you will want to turn states while game is running if you have a lot of states and you will barely see anything on scene this is just suggestion, you choose whatever you want, if you mess up with something just revert default settings and you will do fine.

Hope this helps, cheers!!!

Thank you for your prompt response!

As long as the errors are not broken I will just turned off the obsolete warning as you mentioned, thank you that helped.

Now back to learning and building!

I am enjoying your product and hard work!

Yeah you can use send event action with no problems, here is the thing about obsolete actions:
They invented SendEventToFSM action which is good action to send events on same game object and under same parent, I am using it all the time, then later on they created in SendEvent action possibility to send events to FSM components, that's the reason why they marked SendEventToFSM action as obsolete because you can send events to FSMs with SendEvent action using same method. So to summarize this SendEvent is more advanced action here than SendEventToFSM because it has all send event actions inside and this is the reason to mark SendEventToFSM action as obsolete and also there is an option in actions tab to hide obsolete actions if you want.

Cheers!
