Producers

When adding "Producers" to a Mesh / Bitmap, only a couple of components are selectable*. ZGameEditor veterans will know that you can for example add a Condition component elsewhere, and then drag it into a Mesh .. but this is not obvious for beginners.

*I'm aware that using non-selectable components disables the Graph Editor.

Edit - Incorrectly mentioned Bitmap.

Is is possible to select the Condition-component when adding a component the normal way with Ctrl+A so it's not hidden from the user. On the "right-click on graph" menu I only wanted to include the components that work with the graph. Btw, we should find a way to draw those components as boxes on the graph too, I'm just not sure how to graphically represent them correctly.

Strange, for me only specific components are add-able through the Add Component popup ( it's been like that for a long time now ) .. I can select grayed-out Components ( such as Condition ), but the OK button becomes disabled ( double-clicking or pressing Enter doesn't work either ), so I can't actually add them.

Hmm... Never thought to try Ctrl-A. For Bitmap I can get everything except Implicit... and Mesh... . For Mesh I'm confined to the usual.
No idea what I would do with them.

:oops:

You're right ( my mistake ) .. it's Mesh only, Bitmap works fine.
