[Feat.Request] Exposing ActionListStarter parameters and fields (scripting)

NeatWolf

The ActionListStarter class is pretty useful to trigger any actionlist with some ease.

Yet, in the current state, it's basically a visual component completely sealed on the scripting side.

Would be nice, via scripting, to:

• Set Pararameters
• Change actionlist source type
• Change actionlist
• Stop, Pause, Resume and Kill methods
• Create an ActionListStarter with parameters at runtime

Any of those can be done in a separate script, but setting parameter values in the way this class does is so complex I wouldn't recommend trying to manipulate those directly. Better to just modify your ActionLists parameters List.

Could you please add such scripts to the class? That's the actual request. Since it only has about a single (maybe 2) methods, there's plenty of room to add basic functionalities.

Personally I changed a few fields from private to protected internal... but altering the base class is not a good practice.
And, copypasting a class to extend it isn't either, since it won't be receiving any update or changes you could apply to the base class.

Yet, I can't use inheritance since the class is basically sealed and interesting members are private, with no chance to override any method.

Yes, but I should use the inspector, I'm trying to use the class using C# code.

But, probably this class is just a visual aid by design.
I'm going to make a different request then (coding related).

My bad, I didn't realise ActionList and ActionListAsset actually had a Run (Interact) method. Which is basically what I was doing, but passing through an ActionListStarter method and calling its RunAllActions method.

Apologies, what I was requesting was already there

(yet, using an ActionListStarter could be useful to call an action with parameters, via code)
