new created fsm more adequate default names
« on: May 16, 2011, 05:47:18 AM »
Hi,

 following http://hutonggames.com/playmakerforum/index.php?topic=254.msg1019#msg1019

 I think there is a minor but important issue for new comers in the sense that the default name for an fsm is always the same. This becomes  confusing when several fsm are on the same gameobject and also not very useful in the drop down list in the editor.

 This could be adressed in several ways, here are some suggestions:

-- like pasting actions, have "FSM 1","FSM 2","FSM x" when a fsm is created on the same gameobject.

-- when creating a fsm, a wizard popup would offer the ability to name it straight and explain the very important nature of the name ( since currently, refactoring is very difficult when a fsm is referenced already).


 Bye,

 Jean

Well, that's already a joke only coders would get like the one below I really like ( and didn't get the first time I admit...)

The world is divided in 10 groups of people:
-- one group understands binary,
-- the other one doesn't.
