Write to OPC UA varible using the PLCInputFloat datatype
Can you write to OPC UA variable using the PLCInputFloat varible type. I easily read values from the PLCOutputFloat inside scripts using the "variableName".Value method but I cannot seem to write using the datatypes.
I am able to change to variables on OPC UA server using other applications.
Interface to SIMIT via SHM not working in build
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?
Hi Dat,
I uploaded Version 1.020 to Unity's Asset Store. This should fix the problems. You can now use pure .Net4.0 projects. Also CADLink is now able to compile wit .Net4.0 settings.
It will be availabe latest on Monday on the store.

How can I deploy demo app to my iPad ?
Can I deploy demo app into my iPad by using starter kit?
Hi, yes you can do that with Unity and Game4automation Starter. It is a little bit more complicated than for Android. You will need a Mac for final compilation (alternatively Unity’s cloud build) and an Apple developer account. In Unity’s build settings you will need to set IOS as Build target.

PARTS4CAD don't open
Hi I buy the game4automation starter and I download the parts4cad from the asset store.
And I import the parts4cad in the project where is the game4automation,and I click in the game4automation tab > Cadenas parts4cad and it doesn't star the parts4cad software. Do I need another thing? Here is a screenshot.
Regards!
Hi,
thanks a lot for the hint. We will check how we can prevent that and allow spaces in folder names. Didn't know that this causes problems.
Best regards
UnityLinker.exe error in 2019.2.2 LWRP
Hi all,
I get an error from UnityLinker (see below) in Unity 2019.2.2f1, Android and PC Standalone build. The project also uses LWRP which, I assume, is not so important here. I did not test with standard rendering. I can reproduce this error in an empty project just importing the OPCUA4Unity asset. Other settings are IL2CPP, Net Standard 2.0.
Edit: Maybe it is helpfull to know, that Mono Scripting Backend does not run into this.
Full error message:

Hi, LWRP is not officially supported. You might get it running with some minor changes with LWRP but all our examples and demos are based on the Standared Rendering Pipeline.
OPCUA for Android is only supported with Mono and not with IL2CPP. I am sorry but the 3rd party OPCUA dlls don't work with other settings. See also the remarks on the Unity Asset Store and on our documentation pages about the compatibility.
Exception in OPCUAConnection.Connect on Hololens
Hi,
I am using OPCUA4Unity in my Hololens Unity project. An exception is thrown when I try to connect to an OPCUA server from the Hololens. Here is the output:
"The type initializer for 'Opc.UaFx.Client.OpcClient' threw an exception. at game4automation.OPCUAConnection.Connect () [0x00000] in <00000000000000000000000000000000>:0
at game4automation.OPCUA_Interface.Connect () [0x00000] in <00000000000000000000000000000000>:0"
I am able to connect just fine in Unity Editor, but not when connecting in Hololens.
I have ensured that the build settings are correct (IL2CPP, .NET 2.0 compatibility), and have set the permissions to allow internet access in Hololens. I am on Unity 2018.4.8f1, and have tried upgrading my project to 2019.1.14f1 but that did not fix the issue.
Let me know if you need more information!
Hi, we are not able to support Hololens and we stopped support for it. We can refund you the money if you would like. I am sorry but we were not able to get the 3rd party DLLs running on UWP as needed.
Problems with SignalChanged behaviour of PLCOutput class
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?
Hi Tim,
there was a problem with the automatic settings of the defines.
Please check if the PLCOutput Script was added to your variable automatically:
If not please set in the defines manually "GAME4AUTOMATION" and reimport all OPCSignals.
Now it should work
No currently I think not. I would propose to use OPC UA. Is there a public API for FactoryTalk Communication. If yes it could be easily integrated with some programming.
Best regards
Thomas
CADLink and Solid Edge
We are having issues with models generated from Solid Edge. Assembly positions and part colours don't always seem to be respected.
I note that the documentation mentions similar issues with NX and that a fix is due soon. Will something similar for Solid Edge available?
Andy
Hi Andy, oh sorry. Yes you can remove this line.
Give us a good feedback in the Unity Store if you are happy with our solution. Thanks.

Bidirectional communication with "Starter"- version or other version possible?
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
Hi Leon,
1) yes this is the case. In Professional there is the 3MF interface included (since yesterday). You can directly import from all CAD-Systems which are able to export 3MF. Professional will get aditional features fur the 3MF interface like Updating, Mesh reduction .....
2) Yes you only need to buy and use PixYZ if you want to import the mentioned formats. Which CAD System are you using. For Solidworks we will have soon addtional export functions (as Solidworks makro) which will be more than what PIXYZ is able to do (like export kinematics).
3) Yes, 3MF with Game4Automation Professional - the rest is standard unity.
4) Yes it is. The 3MF interface is just a script attached to a GameObject. You can use it also in Runtime (during simulation).
Best regards
Thomas
