is it possible to extend Mecanim?
what i would like to so far:
color state nodes color transitions by the color of state (switchable in/out maybe)
get all list of states and be able to work with them from custom inspector
is it possible to accomplish this somehow ?
(i know how to extend editor, i just don't know if there is way to extend existing built in features like mecanim, animation timeline or connect to them from outside)

Pretty sure you'd have to rewrite the whole thing - which I guess wouldn't actually be impossible - but quite an undertaking - to get that colouring.
You can get a list of all of the states from it using UnityEditorInternal and UnityEngineInternal then something like this:
List<Layer> layers;
class Layer
{
public string name;
public int index;
public AnimatorControllerLayer layer;
public HashSet<StateMachine> stateMachines;
public List<State> states;
public List<string> stateUniqueNames;
}
void WorkOutStates(AnimatorController controller)
{
layers = Enumerable.Range(0, controller.layerCount).Select(c => {
var layer = new Layer { layer = controller.GetLayer(c) };
layer.name = layer.layer.name;
layer.stateMachines = GetStateMachines(layer.layer.stateMachine);
layer.states = layer.stateMachines.SelectMany(m=>Enumerable.Range(0, m.stateCount).Select(i=>m.GetState(i))).ToList();
layer.stateUniqueNames = layer.states.Select(s=>s.uniqueName).ToList();
return layer;
}).ToList();
}
I finally got it, now exploring the UnityEditorInternal, thank you very much
i finally got it; it works very well and it's very helpful, i'll make asset from this tool i made!
thx very much mr. whydoidoit
