[Released] uNode - Visual Scripting [Support C# Import/Export]

It will be improved in next update.

Because its more easily to create it from block by hitting space key:

But if you still prefer to use the old way, you can edit and uncomment line: 4 in the 'MethodValidation.cs' file.

 

Okay, but after pressing space in the action block - I do not have access to the function parameters.
Of course, I can choose something else and later change it into a parameter, but can you add the option to select the parameter right away?

 

Okay, will be added in next update.

 

@wahid_rachmawan
What are your plans regarding the upcoming DOTS revolution? Will uNode support things like entities, jobs and so on? And if so, can you explain how it will work?

 

@wahid_rachmawan
After doing various actions, like compilation, selecting a function or deleting nodes, some of the above things begin to duplicate.
Mainly duplicate functions are created, just like in the movie, and duplicates of nodes, eg when copying or deleting.

 

Currently there's no plan for the new DOTS, but when the DOTS stable is out i will integrate it and maybe with the new editor window but its still too earlier to explain.

It will be investigate and fixed soon, thanks for report.

Hey, nice updates.
I have to mention, that "Multi objects references" when generating C# still not works. In this new version, i got this error, when i delete uNode.dll :

Code (CSharp):

1. Assets/PROGRAM.cs(19,13): error CS0234: The type or namespace name `uNodeHelper' does not exist in the namespace `MaxyGames'. Are you missing an assembly reference?

And if uNode.dll is not deleted, it works, but then i got this errors:

Code (CSharp):

1. TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'MaxyGames.JsonHelper' from assembly 'uNode, Version=1.7.9.9, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.
2. MaxyGames.EventSystem.ESAction.OnAfterDeserialize ()

Do you think it is fixable, in a future version ? So we don´t need a uNode.dll. Just pure C# output that works without uNode. (All tested on a Win 8.1 x64 system, Unity 5.6 )

 

i've write before that its will be implemented/fixed in version 2.0 or maybe 1.9.

 

@wahid_rachmawan
(((Unity 2019.2 is now released... )))
Therefore, for the latest version of uNode (1.8b9) - what version of Unity do you recommend?

P.S.
Do you still recommend using version 2019.1.0f2? Can uNode work better in version 2019.2.0f1?
Or maybe ... (you know what Unity is - so it's worth knowing which version is the best for uNode)

 

I still recommend using Unity 2019.1 because i use U2019.1 to improve and fix bugs on uNode and i still not tested uNode on U2019.2.

 

Summer break is over ...
Silence in the forum worries me ...

 

Sorry i very busy in my university, but don't worry i still active improving uNode, i still prepare to release a stable version on asset store and maybe with a short video introducing new features.

 

There is no rush, it is important that the tool continues to be developed, even slowly.

 

@wahid_rachmawan

Unity 2019.1.0f2 + uNode v1.8b9 --->
There are still self-duplicate errors of functions and nodes


This happens mainly after copying or restarting the editor but always two copies are created, this applies to both functions and nodes.

edit//
I open such a script --->


and I have it --->

 

Soon it will be fixed.

Thanks for report it.

 

I tried to work with version 1.8b9, but in addition to the errors recently reported - there are other problems. For example: variables themselves change their type during compilation attempts, change names and order in the editor.
I don't know how to report it.

I went back to work with version 1.8b8 - which seems stable.

 

I'll investigate and fix it soon.

 

Hi, what happen to http://maxygames.com/ the site is down? is the project is dead?

 

No the site still alive (its down before), and the project will be updated soon, i still updating the documentation before release new update.

 

uNode v1.8 has been released and soon will available on the Asset store.

This feature allow you to convert supported nodes to action/condition blocks.

changelog v1.8:
-Improved Editor.
-Added command to convert supported flow node to Action node.
-Added command to convert supported value node to Condition node.

What is the recommended procedure for switching to a new version?
Overwrite?
Removing the old one and uploading a new one?
Another?

 

Just overwrite it, but backup first.

 

@wahid_rachmawan
Is the recommended version of Unity for uNode still version 2019.1.0f2?
What are the plans for the newer versions of Unity?

 

I just submitted newer uNode on Asset store which i was test it on U2019.2, soon i'll upload it on my site after making a gif to introduce new feature.

 

uNode v1.8.1 has been released.

What new:

An easier way to creates arithmetic, comparison & flow node from output pins:



An easier way to safely change arithmetic operations:



changelog v1.8.1:
-Improved Editor.
-Added ability to add arithmetic & comparison node on dragging pin.
-Added ability to add supported flow node on dragging pin.
-Added ability to safe change operator type in Arithmetic node.
-Fixed some Vertical graph UI bugs in Unity 2019.2.
-Fixed bug error on promoting null value to node.

Download here : http://maxygames.com/download/

This version has been tested on Unity 5.6, Unity 2019.1.0f2, and Unity 2019.2.9f1.

 

uNode v1.8.1 has been released on the Asset store.

Asset Store Link: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/visual-scripting/unode-visual-scripting-101176

Note: As uNode is still support Unity from 5.6 but i highly recommend to use Unity 2019.1 or higher and use the new Vertical graph for best experience using uNode as i will not improve Horizontal graph anymore.

 

I am experiencing heavy CPU usage, it going full throttle with v1.8.1, though I use very little 1.7.5 but I don't remember this kind a CPU usage. I am on 2019.1.14f1 and macos if is there any connection.
Just one Unode editor open and few nodes there.

and getting this errors;

 

Please send the stack trace too, it think it because of error.

Very nice. Another great update. I am just waiting to get this fixed : #808 . As you mention it would be ready in v1.9 or 2.0

 

Hi, congratulations for the lot of work done across summer. I beleave uNode has now reached a good state for public presenting.
I have posted a review on Asset Store. It's my view to uNode and visual scripting for Unity.
I hope this can help for getting more users and more input for discussing things.
Good luck and furthermore success with uNode.

 

Thanks, and of course case #808 will be fixed in the next v1.9 or 2.0.

Thanks you for leaving good review, it help me a lot.

 

Hi people, How can I get referance from other unode runtime in attach same object and also from other objec?
From normal script I can get referance, But when I search unode runtime public functions nothing appear.

 

You can use blocks to do that, below is how to get uNode runtime in the same object by name and call a functions:

 

I can't see anything from that Gif it's very low quality

 

Sorry for that, you can download that video or visit video url here to watch in high quality.
Don't know why streamable play in low quality.

 

uNode v1.8.3 has been released.

What new:

New Macro Features:
This feature have two system 'uNode Macro' and 'Macro Node' both system are supported to hold variable which you can use it to build complex macro.

The uNode Macro let you to build your own node to use it within many graphs.

Spoiler: Creating Macro

The Macro node let you to pack many node into one node, this macro is embedded directly within the current graph.
This node can also be saved to uNodeMacro to reuse it within many graphs.

Spoiler: Creating macro from selected node & convert to linked macro

New Search Graph Features:
This feature allow to search node in the current graph easily.

Spoiler: List of search keyword

• Directly typing will search for node name.
  example: type 'Debug' will search node with name 'Debug'.
• Type 'p:' or 'port:' will search node by port name or port type.
  example: type 'port:message' will search node with port named 'message' or type 'port:bool' will search node by port type equal to boolean.
• Type 't:' or 'type:' will search node based on node type.
  example: type 'type:variable' will search node that's referenced to a variable.

Spoiler: Search node by name

Spoiler: Search node by port name or type

changelog v1.8.3:
-Added Macro features.
-Added ability to search graph nodes by:

name,
type (block, event, variable, property, function, constructor, literal, value, and proxy),
port name,
port type​

-Major code refactoring
-Fixed some bugs

uNode v1.8.3 has been released on the Asset store.

Asset Store Link: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/visual-scripting/unode-visual-scripting-101176

For anyone who has updated uNode to v1.8.3 downloaded from my site, please update it again from the Asset store or re-download from my site because i've made some fixed regarding to macros.

 

Hi,

Great job on uNode. I noticed that we have uNode Class and uNode struct components.

I was wondering can it create lists of structs or classes.

When I go to create class variables I see arrays and generic lists, but it does not allow me to create them of the type of class or struct I have created.

Thanks in advance.

 

Sure uNode can create lists of structs or classes.
To create it, firstly you need to make a variable and then change the type to accordingly to you need.
Below is how to do it:

 

uNode v1.8.4 has been released.

What new:

New Node Browser window:
Allow for browse available node and create node by drag & drop to graph.
For now only reflection member are available, soon regular node will be available and some great feature like grouping and favorite.
The window can be opened at 'Tools > uNode > Node Browser'

i've tried to make it with UI Elements which is more beautiful like the 'Graph Explorer' below, i've successful make it but it very laggy i try to fix it but still very laggy and a high memory usage so i decided to make it with IMGUI.

New Graph Explorer window:
Here is the new Graph Explorer which allow you to easy explore graph in the project and you can open it by double click on it.
Currently Graph Explorer can only view all graph in the project and creating node by drag & drop but it will be more productive when most of planned are done like:
-Grouping
-Creating new graph, variable, property, and function
-Project Management just like in Visual Studio Solution Explorer
-Refactoring
-Compile whole graph or by specific project

The window can be opened at 'Tools > uNode > Graph Explorer'



New Save Graph to Image:
Save graph to image with a high quality (2X zoom) in the graph, all nodes in the current graph will be covered so it will produce big size when you have many nodes.
You can see the attached file 'Capture.png' it 4794 x 5348 pixels.
To save the graph to image just right click on the graph canvas to open context menu and select 'Take Screenshot'

New Type Patcher:
I mainly create this feature to debugging purpose in playmode without having to save script with debug mode so here it is

You just need to save the graph in playmode and uNode will auto compile with debug mode and patch the script you can either disable this feature by disable debug mode or removing Type Patcher script.
You can use this not just for debugging but you can also use it for prototyping too but there are some limitation

Limitation (Know):
-Only function, property and constructor bodies can be patched
-Can't add or remove function, property, and constructor from the original type
-You can add new variable, property, and function but new variable value will be default (null if reference type)
-Tested only on simple script, complex script may lead to strange behavior

How the patcher work?
-Firstly uNode generates c# script
-Compile generated c# using CodeDOM which will produce new type in new assembly
-Redirect all existing function, property, and constructor in the original type to newer type the process just like : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7299097/dynamically-replace-the-contents-of-a-c-sharp-method

Note: you need to import c# parser in order to use type patcher feature.

changelog v1.8.4:
-Added Node Browser allow to create node by drag & drop
-Added Graph Explorer allow to explore graph in the project
-Added Type Patcher allow to debug and patch (modify graph and compile without domain reload for prototyping purpose) generated script in playmode
-Added auto save graphs on rename (variable, property, and function)
-Added ability to create liked macro by drag & drop macro asset to graph
-Added ability to edit uNode when double clicking the uNode asset in the project panel
-Added ability to Take Screenshot of the Graph with high quality image (2X zoom)
-Changed auto save to only work in editor, use 'Save' button to save graph in the playmode
-Changed when editing graph in playmode any changed will be reverted on exiting playmode
-Fixed bug that makes documentation doesn't load Unity API
-Fixed bug that makes Realtime C# Preview doesn't repaint automatically on change value and connect node in the graph
-Fixed bug uNode Editor loses focus when entering / exiting playmode or closing uNode Editor window
-Fixed bug wrong position on creating linked node
-Fixed bug error generating code when linked node have variable which aren't initialized
-Fixed error on removing node while in play mode
-Fixed some warning

New Node Browser window - very nice
New Graph Explorer - very nice
New Save Graph to Image - very nice too
New Type Patcher - Cool but, I prefer not to change the instructions during its execution.

I'm impressed - an ever better and more professional tool, where are your limits?

P.S.
Why does the screenshot feature create a horizontal and vertical line? (see attached image)

 

i am desperatly waiting for v1.9

 

Thanks and i still have a lot of roadmap for uNode the biggest one is support for DOTS but instead of a graph based i plan to support it using EventSheet which is much easier but of course i'll start made it after DOTS is stable.

Its a bug, i don't have it in my. What's your unity version?

Look like you very want for no dependencies of uNode for using multi target in state graph, okay i'll make sure that feature will be arrived before v1.9

 

2019.2.9f1

 

Cool . Very cool....ehm, yeah, you are right
