A graphic for states and FSMs that communicate with other FSMs

[Mupp]

As your project becomes more complex, it would be very convenient to have a graphic that shows if a state sends a variable or event to an other FSM.

Also, it would be very nice to be able to see if a FSM and/or variables in it is the target of the action above.

When you haven't worked on stuff for a while you forget how stuff is sent back and forth and this would make it a bit easier to grasp the setup.

I agree. I want to focus on making the flow in larger projects clearer. It's a weakness in Unity generally, but I think it's something PlayMaker can help with.

I know there was a third-party tool that showed connections between FSMs in a graph view. It looked really cool, but I can't find it right now...

Yes, that meta manager window is most wanted too here.
+1000000 pts if they managed to make it look like a tree!

Oh I know JUST the one you're talking about Alex! It's this little gem, he actually open sourced it too!

It's PM integration still works as well (I'm in 2019.4). It's a super fun little tool 😁 though with some bigger scenes/selections things definitely can slow down a bit when it does its first little layout pass.

But yeah, seeing the connections between FSM's and their dataflow in a more PM oriented way (excluding prefab multiples, identifying null event data even when named, etc) would be super rad.
