FSM variables...

[Erwin23p 32]

Hello, I have a problem with some fsm from a mission, I've got an fsm that executes another one and I've got no problem sending some variables to the new fsm but I'm trying to retreive a variable and it just doesn't work.

That's what I got:

Spoiler

_fsmName = "tasks\" + _mission + ".fsm";
_fsm = [_crew, _crewLeader, _basePositions, _usedBases, _groups, _missionNumber] execFSM _fsmName;
//and a waituntil the _fsm is completed, then I got this:
_fsmResult = _fsm getFSMVariable "_result";

 

The executed fsm works right and all that but when I try to use _fsmResult with an if statement it tells me that it's not defined.

and in the end statement of the other FSM I've got this:

_result = true;

or false.

I've been using this function in other missions and it used to work well, now it just doesn't work.

Have you tried to use setFSMVariable ?

 

 

[Erwin23p 32]

Yes, just after executing the fsm:

_fsm = [_crew, _crewLeader, _basePositions, _usedBases, _groups, _missionNumber] execFSM _fsmName;

_fsm setFSMVariable ["_result", false];

 

[opusfmspol 273]

Not tested, but try this:

_fsm setFSMVariable ["_handle", _fsm];
_fsm setFSMVariable ["_result", false];

and inside the running _fsm:

_handle setFSMVariable ["_result", true];

Same thing 😞

Are the set variables still available after an FSM has completed (reached end state)?  I've never tested for that.

I thought about that, I'm going to try acceding a variable while in the middle of the fsm. Thanks I will try it.

Working well now, I defined the variable a state box just before the end box, put a timer condition between and used this to make the "outer" fsm notice that the _fsm is finished:

{
	_x setVariable ["startTasking",true,true]; 
} forEach (units _crew);

_result = true;

_t = time + 10;

on the outer fsm I got this in the precondition:

if (time > _timer) then
{
	_startTrigger = _crewLeader getVariable ["startTasking",false]; 

	_timer = time + 5;
};

then a condition box seeking _startTrigger true.

Thanks a lot!

easy solution yet I was so blind...
