Compatibility

Important: PlayMaker 2 is not backwards compatible with PlayMaker 1. Importing PlayMaker 2 into a PlayMaker 1 project will cause issues.

Requirements

  • Unity 2022.3 LTS or higher is required.
  • Pre-release versions of Unity are not officially supported and may cause unexpected behavior.

Backups and Version Control

Use Version Control with your Unity Projects so you can see changes and revert to earlier versions if needed.

If you don’t use version control (which is highly recommended), please make sure to backup your project before importing PlayMaker.

Installation Process

Installing PlayMaker is a 2 step process:

  1. Import the PlayMaker Installer package.
  2. Use the installer to import the latest version of PlayMaker.

This 2 step process allows the installer to check for potential problems and do some housekeeping before importing PlayMaker files.

Importing PlayMaker Installer

Follow the directions for the store where you bought PlayMaker:

Use the Unity Package Manager to find and import the latest PlayMaker package.

  1. Download the zip file from the link you received.
  2. Unzip the file in a convenient location.
  3. In Unity, select: Assets > Import Package > Custom Package
  4. Import the unitypackage for the nearest earlier Unity version. For example, use the 6.0 package for Unity 6.1.

Running the Installer

After importing, wait for Unity to finish importing files and compiling scripts.
The Install Window should then appear:

Or open it from the menu:

PlayMaker → Install

Click Install PlayMaker to complete the import.
