Hey,

Thanks for the follow up 🙂

1) It’s not really requested that much, but I will keep a note of this request!

2) Since a State can have a lot of actions, fetching an icon from ONE action (per action type) is not really possible (which action icon of them all will be shown?), but I will gladly add a field in the FSM state nodes to set a custom icon for the state as an alternative 🙂

3) Indeed, the FSM system in NodeCanvas is designed to follow a “diagonal” flow rather than a vertical/horizontal one, which is inspired by the more.. “traditional” FSM UML designs like for example:

This is more importantly done this way, so that the information on the transitions (the conditions info), has enough space to be readable, whereas in other similar tools (like for example as per your post Arbor 3 or even Playmaker), do not have this need since there is simply no information to show on transitions UI-wise 🙂

Thanks!
