Many FSMs == Very Slow Unity Inspector
« on: April 29, 2020, 12:14:49 PM »
When might we see a solution for the super slow Unity inspector rendering when there are lots of FSMs on it?

As it is now, if there are more then a few FSMs, the Unity inspector slows everything to a crawl, like < 5 fps. I have to either hide the inspector by switching tabs or click 'Collapse All Components' constantly (as Unity has a tendency expand things on the inspector automatically).

Maybe put the FSMs in their own window because it's annoying to use with how slow it is now.

Hi.
you can Collapse the fsms only instead of all (close one then change object and all fsms will be collapsed)

i did not really have issues yet that unity tend to expand actually.

But i don't think there is a solution for it really, as fsms need to be on an object, same as scripts.

I would think there should be some way to have a component on an object and not show in inspector (if not maybe Unity could add this functionality).

Probably the best way to do it instead on putting FSMs in a separate window would be to have each FSM have a toggle for 'Show on Unity Inspector' which would be 'On' by default.

i have also encountered this issue(which is a unity issue with the inspector when you have a lot of components on 1 object afaik), for a simple work around you can select a different object then lock the inspector then go back to your original object and use the playmaker window to select fsms to work on

It is Unity's shit editor that is slowing down things. But also is you have so many FSMs on one object that Unity is choking - you're doing it wrong.
