Makinom Feature Requests - Page 2

@gamingislove, can we have an option to set an alternative shortcut key to open the editor when both ORK and Makinom are installed? I use the ORK editor much more frequently, but the shortcut always opens the Makinom editor.

A node for changing the Profile of a camera's Post Processing Behavior would be handy. (Unless there's already a good method for this?)

Hope to join the multi-language translation function: I would like to translate the ORK and Makinom is parameters and notes into Chinese

Being able to have a curve as an Interpolation option in Move Position would be super useful; sometimes I need finer control than a simple EaseIn/Out.

Edit: Duh, Curve Move exists for this very purpose, lol.

Plug-in functionality request:

If I'm calling a Makinom machine from ORK, it would be so, so, so helpful if I could set local variables for that machine. It means difference between me creating 10 different machines, or creating a single machine with a variable fork.

I can technically use object variables to work around this, but it's a little more convoluted than I'd want it to be.

Show Flying Text should probably have a method to kill/interrupt any already-spawned Flying Text above an Actor.

For example, let's say we have an enemy that taunts you via Flying Text dialogue. He also goes 'AUGH!' when you strike him.

Currently, the both the taunt and the AUGH text overlap each other when you attack him while he's taunting.

Edit: Although, I could ACTUALLY probably just use a regular dialogue? But I seem to remember that I use Flying Text because I could Mount the dialogue on a moving Actor, which I don't think is possible with regular dialogues?

For schematics, do you think we could get an option to set a custom float as time scale ?

We have a Time Stop/slow mechanic, but we don't want to slow/pause ALL makinom events; only specific things. We operate it on a custom value that isn't Makinom Or Unity's time scale, so currently it's impossible for us to have, for example, a complex moving platform created using a Makinom schematic that can be 'paused' at any moment without stopping all of Makinom.

@gamingislove
Ah, but a Change Time Scale node wouldn't quite work in this case; the time stop changes from outside the schematic.

For example: Let's say I have a platform that moves from left to right using movement nodes, and every time it reaches the furthest left or right, it 'tips' and pours water by using rotation nodes and emitting particles also on the object.

The Player comes in, and uses their Time Stop ability right as the platform is tipping and pouring water. We would need the Platform's schematic to freeze RIGHT at that moment, in the middle of whatever node is going, and not progress until we change the time scale again.

Unless I had some sort of 'concurrent' node in the schematic that was checking for the timescale every .1s, I don't think that'd be possible...

---

But every schematic does have their own unique time scale? If that's the case, is there a good way to modify it via code as the schematic is running? Perhaps then we could put a small script on the same gameobject as the machine we want to affect, that checks for the Timestop and sets that particular schematic's time scale as it happens.
