[itsallgoodgames]

hey i have script with following code on an object

1 2 3

public void begin(){ Debug.Log("SSS"); }

I also enable script property “run in edit mode” in SLATE editor for object
After that i use Events Track event to send message. No matter what i type in it doesn’t work
i tried:
begin
“begin”
begin()

doesn’t work.

Hello,

The “Send Message” action clip of Events Track only works in play mode.
If you really want the SendMessage to work in edit mode, although I don’t recommend doing it, let me know and I can add an option for that.
Thanks.

reason i wanted in edit mode was because im not making a cutscene for a game, im making a cartoon which ill record into MP4 later.
More specifically, im trying to make a sprite move along a path AND bop up and down a little like in South Park.
I know Slate has Action to move along a path, and at same time i wanted to call function in script to make sprite bop up and down.
But maybe i can make a simple custom action to do that instead of having it in a script, so its ok i don’t need that feature for now thanks!

Thanks for letting me know of the use case.
It’s nice to know that you are making a non-game animation with Slate 🙂
If you need any help, or have any questions/suggestions, just let me know.
Thanks!
