I mean to use this for my state machine plugin so maybe is there a way to I can modify the call that creates the options box for when you add a private variable to the object, so that I can use it as a way to add states?

Is there a way that I can make it so that you can add states in the IDE instead of using an event. Kinda like adding a private variable but instead adding a state.

You can have states nested within states. so more than 1 state returns true.

how would these sets of states work? could you tuen the entire set off. can you define this idea a bit better so I have a better vision of what you would like.

Plugin has been updated a bit. Im working on the adaptation to a behavior.

Deadeye gave me the idea to have the option that when you set a state to true all other states are turned to false by default. this would be in addition to the normal changing state options. Do you guys agree or disagree?

I changed them to on state activated and on state deactivated for the next build.

Sweeeet

damnit I wanted to do this one but I could never get the SDK to compile with VS9 Express =(

Downloading

Edit: Nice... but could it be a behavior instead? I think it'd be much more useful that way (for AI, for example, each instance having its own state). I have no idea how hard it would be to turn it into a behavior though

its not too bad. I will get around to it I have the basics there its just a matter of doing a few things in the SDK

I could change that nothing too hard to change. That is better terminology, I couldn't think of what to call those lol.

There is an example cap included with the plugin files.
