Groups of states for better organisation
« on: January 26, 2018, 04:20:10 AM »
Hi.

Some of my FSMs can be crowded and not dividable into plural FSMs. Plus, working on multi FSM can be hard to follow. For that reason it would be practical to be able to group states so it's easier to follow when working on it months after.

For starter, a simple rectangle in the background would be enough. It could have custom options like a title, a comment field, an icon and a color. It would not serve any logic purpose and would only be for the Playmaker user.



Later could come options like move the states with their parent rectangle and being able to save a group and use them like sub-FSMs templates. I'd be happy to help with that.

Thanks.

I see this idea has already a topic and this is already on the roadmap.

Hi.
Yes indeed, but keep shouting for it so it might come sooner.
and i do hope templates could be placed in groups and maybe even can share variables or set 'group' variables that the template should use.

If you can, post also on that topic :)
