Use GraphEdit as UI Editor

[fairhat]

see title.

Any plans on creating a UI Editor for this plugin?
I've played a bit with the GraphEdit and GraphNode Nodes on Godot and this should be possible to achieve

Ditto, I have a feature branch, or maybe I started another repo, can't remember, on behavior tree that I was doing this on. I hadn't thought about for FSM though, interesting idea.

I think this would be a very powerful addon for godot. Especially if state scripts and separate transition scripts would be created from the ui interface itself.
It would greatly reduce the boilerplate we have to write and would bind the variables (like sm.target) automatically (with an option to changed it from the inspector).

I'd definitely help on getting it done if you could build a small base logic (e.g. creating the custom nodes and binding that to a editor)

There seems to be two camps on this (similar comments on the FSM addon)

1. Those who want pure-code implementation
2. Those who want visual editor (GraphNode) implementation

Might be better to just have separate addons to focus on their respective strengths.

I did come across a somewhat-working GraphNode implementation, seemed cool at first glance. I had a hell of a time figuring out how to build a working version myself as a plugin addon.
