So I get these big playmaker sets because I prefer to not have many actions in a state. that way later on I can come back and find stuff easily. The issue is that the lines go over each other. It can be a bit of a mess. My solution is to have a dummy state to draw the lines to. the dummy state is off to the side. That way the lines don't cross but go to the dummy state. the dummy state just has a finished and no actions.
Sure, this is fine, BUT....I'd like to see a dummy dot. this dummy dot does NOTHING. You would not even be able to put and action inside. it would be just to connect the lines. that way, you can draw around the other states.
See pic. The 'DUMMY DOT' would not be a state, but rather just a big dot. It could have lines to it and away from it and be colored. No actions inside.
BTW: I used the first FSM I could find so yeah I know if it destroys itself you don't go back to the beginning. It's just an example.
