[Feature Request] Show Link Order for multiple children.

Post by digiwombat »

It'd be really nice if, when we have some branches sitting below a node if we could quickly, visually see which ones were going to happen in which order:



As in this example, the order I wrote them in is not the order they will come out since I've rearranged the links in the parent node (they will go 4, 2, 3, 1 in this case). Also ignore that based on extrapolating the visible logic, only one could possibly be selected. It's just an example. IT'S AN EXAMPLE TONY! I WOULD HAVE HAD TO GO TO ANOTHER CONVERSATION TO GET A BETTER SCREENSHOT TONY. TONY, WHY DO YOU TREAT ME THIS WAY?!

It would be nice to see a 0, 1, 2, 3 (or 1, 2, 3, 4) on the Links near the arrow so I could quickly tell what would happen in what order. And obviously it should take weights into account as well.

But yeah, not a huge deal since I can always check the parent node, but it'd be something nice to toggle on so I can do a quick check of what order sub-node logic's going to be checked in and so on.

Hi,

That's a good idea! To reduce visual clutter, would it still be helpful if it only showed up when you mouse over the parent node? Otherwise I'd add it as an option in the Menu > Show submenu.

Hover works fine, since the main thing there is to just quickly check whether I need to consider my logic, not something I need to constantly see, though obviously a Show Always option wouldn't hurt to slap in there.

Either way's fine by me :D

Thanks! I'll try to get that into the next release.
