Further information: I found out this is because I am setting the parent of the slot entities themselves. I've fixed it by not doing this anymore and only doing the parent. Perhaps a way to tell a slot manager component to re-parent its spawned children would be useful?

Sorry, please disregard. I believe I am doing something incorrect. My variables do seem to be updating correctly in Live Debug.

One thing to note is that the PreviewAnimationComponent is used inside of SCR_EditorImagePositionEntity. Here they use AnimationControllerComponent::SetIntVariable on line 413, but the PreviewAnimationComponent has an additional function called UpdateFrameStep which has a comment that says: "Perform one frame step to submit graph variable change".

Hi NiiRoZz,

It would also be nice if drawPolygon could be extended to drawPolygon3D for drawing in the world as well. Something similar to how eden editor draws a solid color base for selected objects.

Not sure if this has been addressed, but this issue still exists today.
