helper Icons on instances in the room editor #3864

Open iampremo opened 1 year ago

iampremo commented 1 year ago

[Ticket #193649]

Feature Type: feat_addition_ide Description: Add some helper icons/indicators on selected (or maybe all?) instances to indicate the following:

Ideally, these indicators in the room editor on the actual instances (and could be toggled on/off the toolbar) Optional warnings to prevent deletion of an instance with creation code would also be a nice add. Benefit: When there are a lot of objects with specific settings in a room, having some sort of indicators like these would help identify which object is doing what at a glance. The room editor is nice, but I feel it lacks some visual tools to help create complex logic in the editor. Link:

Same for instances in object properties IMO.

When it comes to the last of these (lines pointing to other instances referenced in variable definitions), this would work nicely with this suggestion: https://github.com/YoYoGames/GameMaker-Bugs/issues/3324

If the last of these was implemented, I'd like it to be separately toggle-able, so that I could show/hide the web of links at will. The other three aren't as intrusive, in that they stick close to the instance.
