[Released]Playmaker and Behavior Designer Integration for ORK Famework

Catacomber

OK, you convinced me to be interested. : ) But I'm not going to rush out and use Playmaker--I have enough learning curves in my life---tell me again what it adds that ORK and Makinom doesn't? So this dialogue is meaningful for me.

I'm not sure because I've never try Makinom before. And some features Makinom look better than Playmaker E.g. database because Playmaker doesn't have that. One thing i can tell you is Playmaker have a lot of add-on more than Makinom that make easy to bring ORK plug with that. https://hutonggames.fogbugz.com/default.asp?W714

Maybe some day I'll try Makinom and crate Playmaker Action For Makinom that will be useful.

When someone makes something they want to contribute they just submit it to you and you vet it before patching it into the asset store update. Then people can just select and alter the stuff they want and remove what they don't want when they build their game or are optimizing it. </blockquote> Thanks for your advice quotes. I'm new for this and I've never working this process with another people before except my teammate. Would you mind if I ask you for some example about this process. :)

Ask me whatever and I will help you with what I can.

Specifically for @Catacomber, having the ability to use playmaker is like giving any user more opportunities to expand on their projects. It's not a killer app thing, more a way to make ORK more usable. An example might be completely skipping something in ORK because you might have a better way for your game. I might use Unity's built in UI stuff and plug it in to ORK with PlayMaker. Since ORK allows for custom scripts to be added, something I am not really familiar with, visual scripting just puts that power in more people's hands.

Lastly, ORK confines by its nature while PlayMaker is really open ended. You can do whatever with PlayMaker the same way you can do whatever with just coding. Likely this is the reason some, including myself, chose to go with ORK. I wanted a fill in the blank solution that allowed me to focus on the art. Also, logic is really the largest hurdle for even seasoned programmers which ORK does away with because that hurdle is someone else's responsibility, namely GiL.

I hope my unorganized and long winded explanation was helpful.

Catacomber

Thanks for taking the time to explain all the benefits to me. :) I'll download it and see what it's all about. I have no idea what visual scripting is. :) Anything that's good for use with ORK is good for me. And I think the more plugins ORK can use is also a good thing.

Catacomber

I downloaded Playmaker which I got for free as part of a Level 11 giveaway. I never used it. I see it's a state machine I think like Makinom so I can't really tell right now what it can do that I can't do with ORK and Makinom.

So if it's good for ORK to have a Playmaker plugin, it's good for me. Because I can't really judge.

But I personally think I'd rather see plugins for ORK to things like Photon as the makers of Love/hate did for their ORK plugin.

I don't know how gil feels about this. But if it's good for him, as I said, it's good for me.

I like being dependent on him for his attention to ORK and updates. It scares me just a little bit to be dependent on so many other parties for my game updates to work whenever Unity changes something.

That would mean I'd have to be sure that x, y, z, a, b, c developers updated their plugins. It could break my game. And Apple evolves,--I'm sure Android does too -- so fast sometimes --that updates are needed.

I like simplicity.

Some good news for me :)

Some plugins that provide advance technology that can take my time for a year if I do it by myself E.g. Photon , Behavior Designer. And not update stable version of unity until all plugin are updated and work perfectly with new version of unity.

Thanks @robahouston <blockquote>robahouston said: a database of visual scripts that would make the plugin more attractive.</blockquote> This kind like GIT or Forum or something ?

And to me too! Please update us on your progress. :)

Catacomber

That is absolutely wonderful! You have a customer here! :). You sound like you are as nice and dependable as Gil.

tanohmz

Thank you guys. I'm so excited.

Catacomber

Please let us know when your asset is live in the Unity store. I'm looking forward to it. I'm sorry I asked so many questions, but you answered them in such a gracious and helpful way. I have complete confidence that you're devoted to your work and while not as excited as you are, I'm excited too to try your assets. Thanks for your patience with my questions.

Wood

Yes, tanohmz, please keep us updated with your progress.

I will be happy to purchase your Ork/InvPro bridge.

tanohmz

Thank you very much!

While I wait for Asset Store Review. I update my asset for ORK Framework 2.5.9 new event. And make support to Playmaker 1.8.0(beta) but I can't update on Asset store now. I'm worry about when ORK update to 2.6.0 and I make support Asset Store might review again and take time to long.

Now I use Paypal to sell my Asset on the web and drop the price from $15 on Asset Store to $12 on my web. And asset on my web will update faster than asset store because they don't need to review.

If you don't care about the point on Asset Store you can by on my web. :)

Playmaker Actions For ORK Framework 1.0.1

And another asset of mine are use this way too.

Thank for supporting me. This is my first time I'm so excited. I will be in touch every thing as I can.

Gregorik

Buying it on your site ASAP. =)

OK, done! Thank you, @tanohmz.

tanohmz

Very fast! Thank you very much. If you have any problem or have some idea please tell me.

Gregorik

Here's an idea: perhaps you could create an UFPS+ORK plugin too, it would be a killer, very useful. :)

tanohmz

Maybe when I finished InvPro.(If I can do) Now I'm very excited for working with ORK update to 2.6.0 . This Christmas is the best :)

Catacomber

Have to add bucks to my paypal to buy it from your site --don't keep much there normally--but will do so--takes a few days for the transfer but I'm excited to try this.

tanohmz

Thank you guys. Now I'm working with other demo scene show how to apply asset with other game mechanics like 2d platform. This is fun part of my work :)
