Hi! I have an issue with my project working with game4automation professional that we just purchased. So we have a Game/project working on unitys 2019 version and i tried to import the g4a asset in it ,but the toolbar only has the Parts4Cad option. on 2018 empty project it works perfectly, but i am not so experienced with unity and was wondering if the asset works at all with 2019 versions (most important ones TwinCat ADS or the OPCUA) OR if there is a way to downgrade projects unity version

If i would buy the Professional version for schools account, would it be tied to that account and could be used on other projects after i'm done with mine? 

Hello,

I noticed a problem with the motion axis feature in G4A. I created some sort of articulated arm which rotates around the vertical y-axis using a Drive script and a Drive_FollowPosition script. This works fine, however problems occur when I add a linear (prismatic) drive in a child object of it. I added a video to make it more clear: As you can see there is Link1 which rotates and Link2 (green) which contains a drive script with the direction "Linear Z". Since Link2 doesn't have any Drive Behaviour script yet, it shouldn't move at all, but as you can see, it starts drifting away. This problem doesn't occur when only rotational joints are used in the kinematic chain. Is it possible to fix somehow?

I'm trying to follow the tutorial with the small conveyor. I've inserted the conveyor and instead of deleting components I directly jumped to "Insert Source". However I can not place a can onto the conveyor. Please see pictures. Is this linked to the error/info message I see when I click on "game4automation". BTW: I can't find this post processing stack at the unity store.

Thanks!

Hello,

I am running the OPCUA demo with the UaCPPServer and it works fine, except that the values are not shown next to the GameObjects in Unity. I can see the current values from the server on each OPCUA_Node component, however it seems that the corresponding PLCSignals were not created like they should (from the OPCUA documentation page: "If the Game4Automation framework is installed, additionally all
corresponding PLCSignals are created. These signals can be dragged and
dropped with sensors or drives of the Game4Automation framework.")

I then added a PLC Output Float script manually to the respective node (see picture). Now the current value is shown next to the GameObject, but it doesn't update.

I also tested this with the test scene (OPCUADriveReadingWriting.unity) provided here: https://forum.game4automation.com/communities/1/topics/101-write-to-opc-ua-varible-using-the-plcinputfloat-datatype

But the PLC Output value is also not updated there.

I have recently bought the game4automation Pro, as I need simit and unity to communicate with eachother.

I have no issues getting SIMIT and unity to communicate via the SHM interface when using the "play" button from the editor, but when I run a compiled application Unity and SIMIT do not communicate.

I have tried to use both "2019.1.14f1" and "2018.4.9f1 LTS" versions of unity. As the function "Apply Standard Settings" fail in my "2019.1.14f1" project but switching to "2018.4.9f1 LTS" where the function runs without error did not help.

"GAME4AUTOMATION_PROFESSIONAL;GAME4AUTOMATION" is present in the "Scripting Define Symbols" field.

what am I missing?

Dear game4utomation team,

Recently we bought the Game4Automation Pro Asset in Unity, and so far we really like it.

We set up a simple project in Simit and managed to get the interface working with the shared memory solution.

For this we used the Update() method off Unity, now we would like to use a event based system to reduce the load on the system. In the PLCOutput class the event SignalChanged is available and we tried to implement this.

So in this example we would like to toggle a bool to change the color on a traffic light.

public class Verkeerslicht3 : NetworkBehaviour

{

public Material yellowMaterial;

public PLCOutputBool yellowEnable;

public MeshRenderer yellowMeshRenderer;

void Start()

{

yellowEnable.SignalChanged += OnYellowEnableStateChange;

}

private void OnYellowEnableStateChange(Signal obj)

{

RpcSetGeel(obj);

}

[ClientRpc]

private void RpcSetGeel(bool state)

{

yellowMeshRenderer.material = state ? yellowMaterial : disabledMaterial;

}

But if we toggle the Bool in Simit the OnYellowEnableStateChange is not called.

Can you help with this?

Hello,

I would like to create a digital twin of an already existing system, which is using a S7-1500 controller.

Is the basic version capable to create a bidirectional communication between the digital twin and the real system?

Does a change in state of the physical object directly lead to a change in state of the digital twin and the other way around?

Cheers,

Leon
