Problem with O3 schematics adapting from O2
Forum › ORK Support
Hey!
In Ork 2 I had a battle event calling another battle event on a set of combatants. I used search combatants to set the required combatants in the first battle event, and then Call Battle Event with shared variables and selected data to pass that on to the second battle event.
I'm having trouble reproducing that on Ork 3. I'm using Select Combatant Objects to get the necessary combatants in my first schematic, stored as local selected data. I then use Start Machine, with shared local variables and selected data, to execute the second schematic. But the data from the first schematic doesn't appear to have made it through to the second schematic.
Am I going about this the right way, or are there different nodes I should be using to reproduce what I had in Ork 2?
Thx!

Is the schematic executed at all?
The Start Machine node executes a schematic for every machine/starting object pair. If e.g. there's no starting object, no schematic is started.
Enabling Start Without Objects will allow executing it without any objects.
If the schematic is executing, maybe check if the selected data you stored even contains anything in the original schematic.

I guess I'm not understanding the use of that parameter correctly? I assumed setting it to "one" would give me a single combatant, but "all" would give me all the relevant combatants - but that doesn't appear to be how it works?
However, the Select Combatant Objects node is something different - it selects game objects of combatants based on the User Combatant you define. The Needed setting here defines if only one combatant from the users or all of them is used, e.g. getting combatants around each user. This would only be relevant if the selected user contains multiple combatants.
The Select Combatant node works just like in ORK 2, i.e. selecting combatants e.g. from a combatant's group, etc.
