Title: State groups in FSM
Post by: Aaddiction on July 19, 2019, 04:20:11 PM

Sorry if there is already such feature, but I can't seem to find it.

Can we please be able to group different states in a single FSM?

Yes, that came up before (https://hutonggames.com/playmakerforum/index.php?topic=20763.0). It would be nice, but not a thing and I guess will be something for Playmaker 2.

That one would be juicy BUT it could fly against the spirit of Playmaker's FSM interface.
Also, if such a function were to be implemented, I think whatever aspect the collapsed group would adopt, it would need to offer a summary of the basic data present inside: number of states, number of events and transitions used.
The group itself would work like a big meta-state, with its own entry and exit transitions.
I would not call this function an urgency at all though.
