This is what I would do.

For Levels. There will be an int variable called "Level" . When player reached finish, I will send and event LEVEL FINISHED and will use action Int add and will add 1 to "Level" variable. So, That will be 2. Then, will use action Playerprefs Set Int and save that "Level" variable in new key called "level"

Same for Stars. Fire an event at Level Finished and check how many stars. and Then will use Int Compare Range action and add stars. and save thm in different key via Playerprefs

Do you maaaaybe have an example or something? I've never used PlayMaker before so this is all new to me.

Did you created the game already ?

This is really great feedback - thanks!

I hope to get a patch build out asap with some fixes!

Have you tried the new PlayMakerControls component? It should be useful when you have multiple FSM components on a GameObject, allowing you to collapse the individual components. There is an editor cost as long as an inspector is open, but I'm looking into ways to minimize it.

More documentation for the new features is coming soon...

For the sake of the argument I'm going to explain the situation I'm facing, maybe it could be useful for someone.
My Unity project use Zenject for dependency injection (if you don't know what is it, take a look here: https://blogs.unity3d.com/2014/05/07/dependency-injection-and-abstractions/ for a quick introduction).
I have a UIManager class that handle in-game user interface like menus, dialogues windows, notifications and so on (I'm a developer, so it's easier manage these things directly with code).
The UIManager object is instantiated by Zenject and is available for all other objects which may need it (this is the great convenience of DI).
Then I created some custom actions to handle ui at high level with PlayMaker. In this way I can show dialogues and prompt user for input, if he need to make a choice or give an answer and manage the conduct of the conversation jumping from one state to another based on responses.
In the action inspector I only need set options and text for dialogues, then the action will invoke UIManager methods passing parameters.
It's sooo flexible and now I love PlayMaker! 

So, what is the problem? It's about code design.
DI help to write clean and testable code (is very important!).

I managed to get it work, but I had to resort to singleton.
Despite being widely used especially in game development, has several drawbacks (look here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/137975/what-is-so-bad-about-singletons for more info).

Zenject has different ways to inject dependencies, but basically it need to manage or oversee objects instantiation in some way. It seems that FsmStateAction are instantiated through the Activator and I found no way to hook FsmStateAction instantiation.

If I'll found a way to make it work properly with injection, I'll report here, but I'd really like to know if there is some support to injection or if it's planned in some future release.
