Installation

ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR PROJECT BEFORE IMPORTING OR UPDATING ASSETS!

Requirements

  • Playmaker works with Unity 4.3 and higher.
  • Unity 5.3 or higher requires PlayMaker 1.8 or higher.
  • PlayMaker 1.8 is included in the 1.7.8.4 package.
  • System requirements are the same as for Unity.

Installing from the Unity Asset Store

Open the Asset Store inside Unity: Main Menu > Window > Asset Store

  1. Click Version to check the Release Notes.
  2. Buy/Import/Update Playmaker.
  3. Import later from your Downloads.

Installing from our Online Store

  1. You should receive a download link for a Playmaker unitypackage or zip file
  2. If you downloaded a zip file, unzip it and find the appropriate Unity version folder.
  3. In Unity select Assets > Import Package > Custom Package and select the Playmaker unitypackage.

Welcome Screen

After importing you should see a Welcome Screen. If it doesn't open you can open it here:

Main Menu > PlayMaker > Welcome Screen

From the Welcome Screen you can:

  • Install the latest version of Playmaker
  • Review Upgrade Notes
  • Find tutorials and download samples
  • Go to add-ons available online

NOTE: If the project has errors the Welcome Window may not be available. In this case you can import Playmaker manually from:

Assets/PlayMaker/Editor/Install

Always BACKUP your project before updating Playmaker!

Installation Notes

  • Check the version notes in the Installation tab. Unity 5.3 or higher requires PlayMaker 1.8 or higher.
  • If you don't need Photon Networking, you can uncheck that folder on import or delete it afterwards.
  • If you don't see Playmaker in the Main Menu, see Troubleshooting.

Update Notes

  • Always backup projects before importing an update!
  • It's a good idea to close the Playmaker Editor before updating.
  • In the Unity 5.x import window you might see warning icons next to folders. These are okay to ignore.
  • Sometimes Unity fails to rebuild assemblies after import. If you get errors please try restarting Unity.
