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

What is the latest stable version of uNode?
I ask because I develop for iOS and Android

 

the latest stable version is v1.8.7 found in the asset store however uNode 2 has been close to stable version and soon it will be released only need to update documentation and bug hunting for the new graph runtime type ( Class Component, Class Asset and Class Singleton ) and for c# graph it is stable enough.

 

@wahid_rachmawan
That’s great! I’ll be getting it soon
I’ll also create some tutorials as suggested if it works well, as I learn. Because I have no idea what I’m doing yet lol Looking forward to version 2.

 

uNode v2.0 BETA 11 has been released.

changelog v2.0b11:
-Added ability to refactor missing c# member ( field, event, property, and function )
-Added ability to compile referenced c# graphs after renaming c# graph member ( variable, property, and function )
-Added ability to duplicate property, function and constructor in graph panel
-Added ability to compile all c# graphs in uNode Editor
-Improved Code Generation
-Improved ErrorChecker
-Improved Error Recovery
-Improved Editor
-Fixed some UI bug found on Unity 2019.4
-Fixed bug Console Integration not work for the generated c# scripts
-Fixed bug promoting port into variable or local variable doesn't repaint the graph panel
-Fixed state graph bug when run using native c# the flow node always wait one frame before executing next flow, this causes inconsistencies when running graphs between the native c# and reflections.
-Fixed other reported bugs

Will version 2 be officially released this year?

 

@moyashiking
I'm on a long vacation at the moment.
But in meantime, I switched my project to uNode 2.0 BETA. There are still some bugs, but I can use it now.
In case of problems, I recommend contacting author, he is very helpful.

Due to fact that uNode generates pure C# code - there should be no problems with Android or IOS. My android version worked fine.

 

@wahid_rachmawan
After installing version 2.0 BETA 11 - the nodes marked on the screen broke and connections to them were broken.
--->

 

That's critical bug, i have fix and reupload it you can download it again.

changelog v2.11.1:
-Fixed bug cannot register or unregister event when a port connected to value node
-Fixed bug convert node error on generating convert code with string type
-Fixed bug error on creating constructor node
-Fixed bug error on displaying constructor node

Yes i plan to release it this year. you can join uNode discord to see the progress.

 

I decided to ask my boss to purchase uNode!

 

thanks.

 

After much debate I’ve decided with UE you have a great product and I hope it does well!

 

Hi,wahid
when i use uNode in my project,i find a question:when show function's inpector,It takes a lot of time,profiler printscreen is:

This problem does not exist in an empty project.Looking forward to your reply

 

Are you have Odin Inspector installed in your project?
looking at profiler i think the problem is because of odin trying to draw its custom editor.


I'll try to find the bug and fix it ASAP.

Thank you for reporting.

Okay, good luck.

 

yes,this is function's custom inspector:



For some reason, RuntimeType and Modifier overlap.

 

I think this is what you're looking for : http://www.sirenix.net/odininspector/faq/32/how-will-odin-handle-existing-editors

Try disable odin custom editor for unode type: uNodeFunction, uNodeProperty, etc. might help your problem.

 

I go to try.Thank you!

 

Hello,
I see that uNode has BT's basic composite nodes, does it also have utility selector? It's sometimes called priority selector.

 

@wahid_rachmawan
There are problems with "snap" function in latest version, and options for this function in settings have also disappeared.

 

No, uNode doesn't have priority selector, only selector and random selector.

I just checked and it still appeared in settings:

 

@wahid_rachmawan
I would like to ask you to improve the "rich text" function according to its idea.

Currently, it doesn't quite work as it should, e.g:




When accessing members of variables, all elements of the chain except the first one have the color of the last one. I think it would be better if all elements of the chain had their own colors, depending on their types.
Functions should have colors depending on the type they return, with a special color for void functions.

 

consider adding that, it shouldn't be too hard since it's only adding a virtual GetUtilityValue that recursively gets a score value in children

 

It will be improved after the stable version released.

A dedicated behavior tree graph may not be hard to implement this feature but in uNode the behavior tree is placed on the state graph and mostly node can be placed into it including flow and value node and all the node has the its own c# generation so it is hard to implement something like 'GetUtilityValue' since it need to work both on runtime and native c# ( code gen ).

 

uNode v2.0 BETA 12 has been released.

New Theme "Dark Gray":

Native Theme:


You can change the theme in uNode Preference.

changelog v2.0b12:
-Added new theme "Dark Gray"
-Added ability to rename variable, property, and function with "alt + left click" in the graph panel
-Improved Editor
-Improved Graph editor performance
-Changed double clicking variable, property, and function now show rename window instead of inspect
-Fixed most of reported bugs

@wahid_rachmawan
You push the limits of quality.
The new gray theme is great.

 

Future request:
Most this of future related to UI and usage in single screen.
1- add shortcut key to show/hide Unode Inspection windows and Unode class fields windows.

2- When Unode editor is dock to Unity Editor window is should have option to hide Inspection and Unode class fields windows automatically the option can be enable or disable based on user preference and when the Unode editor windows Maximize the Unode Inspection windows and Unode class fields windows should show up.




Case when windows dock to Unity Editor.



Case when windows Maximize.

 

@wahid_rachmawan
The first time I saw the border shift - I thought it was a error.
But I think it looks interesting, as if the visually shifted frames suggest where the values are going.
Please do not correct this.
--->

 

Thanks for the feature request, it will be added soon.

It was intentional, the new theme is like this before.

 

Great, uNode looks better and better - appearance, clarity is of great importance in a tool that is "visual" by definition.
New icons are great too.

Can you add an option to change the color of the main power-performance lines? --->

 

You can change it on file: PortStyle.uss

 

Ok, thanks.

 

@wahid_rachmawan
Can uNode be used in Unity 2020.1.x now?

(I'm still working on Unity 2019.4.x - I ask out of curiosity.)

 

uNode development review on the example of a simple code fragment. --->

 

Yes

 

uNode v2.0 BETA 13 has been released.

changelog v2.0b13:
-Added option to enable / disable: Auto C# Generator on Build in individual graph and global settings
-Changed the 'default' theme.
-Fixed bug on drag & droping graph asset to uNode Editor
-Fixed some UI bugs
-Fixed most of reported bugs

i have been using "other" VS tools, and i have owned this for a while, but never could get my head around the UI. its starting to look real nice now, and thought i would take another closer look. some initial questions...

tried the 2.0 beta and updated my comments

1. How do you define the namespace? (found it in the 2.0 beta version)
2. How do you select some other variable's other then what's in the default list? Do you have to select an incorrect variable from the list, then update it in the inspector afterwards? (seems less then ideal). for example if i want TMP.text type variable? (Seems to be easy in 2.0 beta)

3. What is the "Main" tab and why does it exist? if this is the active script/node/canvas, why not name it the actual script name? maybe i dont understand the purpose...


4. When setting an attribute for a class var, (for example the HeaderAttribute) why does another window popup for editing the text. why not have this right below the attribute field or allow the window to be docked somewhere?. (make it easier and more seamless?)


5a. Do I have to create an object, to attach uNode too, before i can start working on a script? Can i just start with no gameobject? Can i just start a file directly in the project file system (similar to a normal c# script)? (Seems to be easy in 2.0 beta)
5b. in the 2.0 beta, When right clicking on the project , Create -> uNode -> C# Class. a "New_Class" prefab is created. how do you update the name? i was able to update the name in the canvas, and its reflected in the code preview, but the c# .cs file and the prefab retain the original name? any idea how to update those?


6. anyone have any good youtube videos on this? im working though the documentation, but would like to see it in action too. i will contribute to making some video's once i get my head around how everything works.

a suggestion.
1. The list of classes, variables, etc. The offset color is nice and helps with readability, but its still kind of hard to read. i would suggest aligning them to the left, but indented. dont center them, its harder to read when there is differing length of names. (THIS LOOKS FIXED IN 2.0 BETA)

 

@wahid_rachmawan
Why are some options in the settings gone?
For example, it is no longer possible to change the color for the "enumerator" type.

I agree.

edit//
In the latest version of uNode - probably all options for the "rich text" function have disappeared

 

In this picture you have nice frames (testMe, magicVar), I have others - what version are you using?

 

i was testing with the latest beta 2.0b13

 

@Alienmadness
Me too, but my appearance is different. What version of Unity are you using?

 

2019.4.11f

 

3. the 'Main' tab used for editing currently selection Graph and a scene Graph.
4. Will be improved in the future, thanks for the suggestion.
5b. you can just rename the prefab and leave the class name empty so the generated name will be same as prefab asset.
6. There's no official youtube tutorials right now but sledgman on discord has made it this one::

Sorry for late answer and thanks for the suggestions.

It may because of using 'default' theme, because in latest BETA you can no longer edit 'default' theme.

This may because of using uNode v1 which still have horizontal theme and using it.

 

I initially tried to change the name of the prefab but wasnt able to.. but after a restart of Unity it seems fine...

one thing i found kind of odd, is that prior to changing the name. the generated c# .cs file was named differently then the class itself. but didnt create any error in unity.. which a normally created c# file, if you do that. it would error out.



anyway, i figured out a way to resolve it, but might be something you want to correct.
thanks

 

Okay, got it, sorry - my oversight.

For me "main" is unnecessary, and even sometimes it bothers me.
For example, when I have a graph open and there are errors and I click on the error - this graph turns on as "main" and if I forget about it and correct error in "main", the attempt to compile "main" graph fails. And I have to correct it again, but now correctly in the correct graph.
I understand that someone works differently and the "main" tab is useful, but for me - the "main" tab is problematic. (Especially automatic switching to it when viewing errors.)

edit//
Sorry if I'm explaining problem incorrectly.

 

i would agree, seems like it would make more sense to have just 1 tab per graph/script and make changes there... seems less confusing that way, imo

any tab based program, the active tab, is where you make changes. there typically isnt a "special" tab like main.. to confuse people. This was one of the items, that seemed so odd when i first installed uNode when i originally purchased.

 

Please leave the 'name' of the graph empty or blank for auto rename class based on file name. Normally you only need to name the class manually if you have multiple classes ( graphs ) in one file.

The 'Main' tab is still useful for editing scene graph and debugging runtime graph so i cannot remove it sorry. And about the bug on jumping to 'main' tab when clicking on the errors has been fixed.

 

Great.
I know the "main" tab is useful for a different way of working, and I'm glad you fixed jumping.

 

Couldn't each INode be extended with a GetUtility? Since it's a csharp way of doing things then it would work in both runtime and c# I think.

 

Yes each node can extended with GetUtility but it will not work on both runtime and c#, to make it work i need to implement it in both runtime and c# which is take a long time.

 

Interesting, I didn't know there was an overhead on your side. Because you need to add that to the codegen?

 

Yes except high level node.
