We are looking for a FSM solution for our project Darfall, that will handle high level scripting like abilities or quests.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1961600/Darfall/We knew about a PlayMaker and gave it a try, we have considered it, however there are 2 critical issues currently preventing us from choosing this asset.
Rename Custom Actions1. We will need to create a lot of custom actions for our systems. Not sure if I'm missing something, but its not possible to rename existing custom action classes? This seems like a huge dealbreaker, as currently renaming custom action C# class just breaks it in every graph, as we will definetly need to rename refactor our actions at some point.
We would expect there would be some [FormerlySerializedAs] attribute where we could specify the original full name of the class, but there seems to be none
Variable IDs2. We have custom game save system and we are storing variables by their names into JSON.
With playmaker, its easy to get names and values of variables from C# code, however the issue is, if somebody renamed the variable in graph, it will break the previous game save, as game save JSON would still hold the old variable name.
I did not find it anywhere, is it possible to add some unique ID into the variable class? This ID would be generated once when variable is created in the graph UI, then never change (e.g. some guid). This would prevent breaking of game saves when somebody renames the variable from graph.
I know we request much, however I presume both scenarios would be also needed and useful to other studios and projects. This would be a huge step in supporting some more advanced features for bigger projects as ours.
If these 2 issues would get resolved, we would most likely switch to PlayMaker for our quest and ability solutions
Thank you very much
