- Variants allows to restyle custom objects
- They can be customized with the graphical editor
- The asset store will progressively use them notably for UI elements (buttons, sliders)
* Still to do:
* Properly handle effects (disable 3D effects) for layers
* Handle hot reloading properly
* Avoid duplicating the configuration of the custom object inside each object created from it. Instead, only store the modified values.
* Add a "Extract as a custom object ("prefab")" when selecting instances in a scene.
* Add a dialog to give choice between 2D or 3D object when creating one.
* Make sure "behavior shared data" are properly handled (physics, pathfinding...)
* Check if we need to give an expression to translate coordinates from the parent to the local custom object.
* Ensure a deleted custom object does not break the editor

- Global or scene variables can be used with a unique action and condition.
- Object variables can be used with a unique action and condition.
- Variables need to be declared following the same logic as the new expression syntax.
- Local variable can be declared on events
- Extensions have their own variables
- Show a diagnostic report when a preview is launched and there are missing scene variables, object variables or behaviors.
- This is especially useful if external events are shared between several scenes.
* This should make it easier to identify and find actions/conditions. Categories give more clarity and icons help to identify what's available without reading everything.
