Overview:
Playmaker Game Creator Bridge does indeed what its name says. It bridges Playmaker and Game
Creator together. This means that you can run Game Creator actions and set its properties from
Playmaker without needing to define Game Creator actions in the inspector. Most of Game Creator’s
actions have been ported to Playmaker and as per Playmaker style be accessed from the Playmaker
editor, you can then construct your FSMs as per usual. PMGC Bridge also contains Game Creator
actions that allow to access Playmaker, you can send global events, activate/ deactivate FSM and pass
variables from Game Creator (more actions will be available in future updates).

1
Installation & Setup
Install the PMGC Bridge from the Package Manager located in the Window tab of Unity.

(make sure you have selected Packages My Assets in the Package Manager)

Click ‘Download’ and then when prompted ‘Install’, this will install the package.
Once the package is installed you will find a folder named ‘PMGCBridge’ in Unity’s Project
Tab. Clicking in it will show you the following:

2
Here you will see four folders. The folders contain the examples, the actions for Playmaker
and the actions for Game Creator. If you have installed Game Creator’s Module Transitions
then you install the transitions package in the Transitions folder. Once installed the folder
structure will look like in the picture bellow:

You now have another folder ‘Transitions’ that contains the example for the Transitions
Module and its actions.

Once installed you can access the new Playmaker actions from the Action Browser. The
actions will be categorised as below:

3
To access the Game Creator actions simply click ‘add action’ and select Playmaker from the
dropdown menu.

You will then be presented with another menu.

This is where you can find the actions that allow to communicate with Playmaker.

4
Examples:
If you are familiar with the Playmaker and Game Creator ‘modus operandi’ then your
workflow with PMGC Bridge will be exactly the same.

Playmaker:
Let’s make a Game Creator Character ‘clap’ when pressing the ‘A’ key. Create a Game Creator
Character in the Hierarchy.

Don’t forget to add a floor and adjust the Character’s ‘’Y’ position so that it stands slightly
above the floor. Adjust your camera or rotate the Character so that it is facing the camera.

5
Create an empty object in the hierarchy and add a Playmaker FSM to it.

In the Start state add the action ‘Get Key Down’ and set it up as Key A and send event ‘jump’.

Then create another state in the FSM

6
In this new state add the action Game Creator Jump and drag the Character from the
hierarchy and drop it in the action’s slot ‘Specify Game Object’ or select the Character from
the Select Gameobject box. Add a next event action and set it up to send event ‘Finish’. Then
connect the done event to state2 and the finished event to state1.

Click play in Unity’s editor. Press ‘A’ to make the character jump.

Game Creator:
Create a cube in a new scene. Create a Playmaker FSM in the cube you just created.

Create a new state in the FSM. Click the ‘Events’ tab in the Playmaker editor and add an event
called ‘rotate’. Make this event Global by checking its box.

7
Select the State2 and right click on it, choose ‘Add Global Event’ from the dropdown menu
and select the ‘rotate’ event previously created.

We just created a global event. It will look like this:

Click in the ‘State 2’ and add the action ‘Rotate’ from the category transform and fill the X, Y
and Z angles with the value 0.5, make sure to tick every frame

8
Now, create a Game Creator trigger in the hierarchy and set it up to input on key down, key
code ‘space’ key.

In the inspector click the actions slot in the Trigger section, this will add an actions component
to the trigger.

9
Next, in the Hierarchy, select the actions objects under the trigger object.

In the Inspector click ‘add action’ and from the dropdown menu select Playmaker and then
State Machine.

Here select the action ‘Action Send Event to Single Playmaker FSM and drag the gameobject
‘Cube’ from the hierarchy to the slot FSM object (or select from the Select Game Object box),
fill the field ‘FSM Field’ with the exact name of the FSM (in this case ‘FSM’) and fill the field
‘Event Name’ with the global event we want to call (in this case ‘rotate’).

Press play in Unity’s editor, then press ‘Space’ and watch the cube slowly rotate. We just
called a Global event in Playmaker from Game Creator.
