Hi,
As I am writing almost plain english codes with Playmaker ( fantastic!), I find very constraining that there is a limit in the length of state's name. Not willing to write a whole paragraph of course, but sometimes to really express the singularity of the state, I have to write less comprehensive and prone to misunderstanding states, and then write the same in the info section, which really is a duplicate of the state name but with two or three more words. This is especially needed since you can't have duplicates so you need to find unique names. I am coming here from a shared project point of view where not just me is looking at this and work is being monitored, and acknowledge by the client which is a developer also. So the more I can properly express myself within the fsm States and events, the better and less obscur my work is. PLaymaker already greatly help towards this ease of comprehension, I just wish I could have longer states name
example:
"Load needs to be lifted off the floor" is very close to the max you can write on a state. But sometimes I have to write
"Elevator Jaws engage forward to the delivery location" and that is impossible. Also it doesn't feel to me like such a long Statement, and really helps making the whole fsm more readable as you glance through and follow the process live.
Could they not wrap onto a second line? I think that it would look quit ok.
This could maybe part of a bigger plan to allow for visual flexibility in the fsm view.
Have a good day
Jean
