I feel like the challenge with stuff like this is that once you edit the resulting code, the original graphical input is no longer in sync. I wish there was a good solution to this.

There are many tools that come close (graphical GUI designers come to mind) by not actually giving you resulting code, but letting you write code separately that interfaces with the graphically designed parts in a well-defined way.

the quick and dirty solution would be that editing the resulting code is a one way street. so, once you edit the code you can't use the graphical interface. it's not a _good_ solution but I guess it's better than not giving the option to users at all

Id use that for baseline boilerplate generation

Id buy that for a dollar

Or, give them something as nice as Unreal's Blueprints.

The thing is, unless you're experienced engine development team that has a good track record of creating one of the best engines on the planet, don't expect to create something as good as Blueprints.

Okay, you got it:
