🧠 A Simple Combined Workflow
Use PlayMaker 2 for:
- State machines
- Flow orchestration
- Visual logic
- High-level gameplay decisions
Use Game Creator 2 for:
- Actions and triggers
- Characters and navigation
- Interactions
- Gameplay systems
- World logic
The integration acts as a bridge between them, allowing both systems to communicate without replacing their native workflows.
🎯 Automatic Gameplay Context
Game Creator 2 Instructions often depend on contextual references such as:
- Self
- Target
- Player
The included context provider automatically supplies these references when Instructions are executed from inside a PlayMaker FSM. Manual overrides are also available when you need more control.
This helps reduce repetitive setup and makes actions easier to reuse across different objects and scenes.
🔁 Events, Signals, and Variables
Create responsive gameplay by connecting communication between both frameworks.
Examples include:
- Triggering a PlayMaker event after a Game Creator action
- Sending a Game Creator signal from an FSM
- Starting gameplay routines from a PlayMaker state
- Sharing relevant values between visual workflows
- Reacting to characters, objects, interactions, or world events
- Coordinating larger gameplay sequences across both systems
🛠️ Built-In Integration Tools
The package includes dedicated tools to help you configure and understand your project:
- Project integration overview
- Environment and dependency information
- Integration settings
- Automatic project indexing
- Cross-framework reference inspection
- Context resolution settings
- Diagnostics for potential integration issues
- Quick access to common maintenance actions
These tools are designed to keep the integration clear and manageable as your project grows.
