State Machine Inheritance [message #1797197]

Hello,

I'm new to Papyrus and I've got a problem where I can't find any solution.

I want to build hierarchical state machine. For example state machine 1 defines a general structure (states, transitions etc) that every other state machine should use. Then if state machine 2 inherits from state machine 1 it should have all the states, transitions etc that state machine 1 has and it should be possible to edit these states, transitions etc but also be able to add new states and transitions. The inherited states and transitions should also be graphically shown.

I know that you can mark state machines as a generalization of other machine states, but if for example the empty state machine 2 gets marked as a generalization from state machine 1 and state machine 1 defines some states and transitions then state machine 2 is still empty.

So my question is: Is it possible to build such a state machine hierarchy in Papyrus? And if yes, how?

We had this issue in Papyrus for Real Time and, if I remember correctly, we had to do some magic to get this working (I want to say we had to redefine all elements, but I'm not sure...)
Of course, in Papyrus for Real Time, we coded that in to the tool so the user did not have to do it manually...

So as of now (version 1.0.0 of Papryus-RT), is it possible to do state machine inheritance? If yes, is there maybe a guide or something similar?
Because I have found something about state machine inheritance inside capsules. But every time I tried to edit a state machine in a capsule, it wouldn't let my add any states or transitions so I'm a bit helpless there.
