ingredients needed : Unity, Playmaker If we have created some variables in Playmaker like a boolean, we can retrieve it with this code snippet, place under an object that is using a FSM window. Retrieve local variables In this example we got a FSM boolean called “foo” : using HutongGames.PlayMaker;   private PlayMakerFSM MyFsm;   void Awake(){ […]

Create a new action in a FSM windows, by clicking on the “Action Browser” button. Which is located on the bottom right side of the State Tab.

Make transitions between FSM states just by drag and drop the transition event of the first state to the second state. (!! you cannot make transition between two states if the first one doesn’t have any transition event !! -in the case above, the “Finished” event)
