uNode v1.5.4 has been released on the Asset store.

 

First uNode video :

uNode v1.5.4 has a bug that can't parse instance variable correctly.
Follow the steps below to fix it:
-Open CSharpParser.cs with any text editor (located in Assets\uNode\C# Parser\Editor\CSharpParser.cs)
-Find and replace 'AllowDirrectEdit(sType)' to '(AllowDirrectEdit(sType) || setting.parent == null)' without quotes in the CSharpParser script.

 

Finally I found a way to make CSharpParser support the newer version of unity.
The CSharpParser did not work because of missing dependencies of some plugins, don't know why its working on U2018.1.0f2.

Import the attached file to your project to fix errors 'Unloading broken assemblies' when you are using CSharpParser on newer unity version.

Tested works using Unity 2018.1.3f1.

 

Nice Progress ! And i have to say: really good idea, with the option to download the Asset-Updates on your site !!! Much better, than allways downloading via AssetStore.

EDIT:
Feature Request: lets say i want to rotate 10x objects with "Transform.Rotate"-node, exactly same rotations on all 10x objects. Therefore usualy i need to make 10x nodes (Transform.Rotate) or copy and paste them. I think it would be much better, if we can do it inside the class-variable-tab. Just one transform.rotate-node and the instance is a variable which contains the gameObject targets. Currently we are able to put just 1x GameObject inside the "value"-slot of the class-variable. Can you make it multi-target like inside the "event"-nodes (i guess you remeber what we talked about month ago)

 

@sledgeman
do you mean compiled code like:

if so,you can add a class variable with typeof(List<Transform>) like :

then add a group node - "ForeachLoop",set a 'TargetArray' in Inspector,then click 'Edit Group' button:


my english is not good,hope that can help you.

 

Hi sledgeman,

That feature is good, i think this feature is suitable to be made for action instead of node so i'll made it for action. uNode has action and condition system that let you quicly use premade action or condition to do somethink its very useful for non programmer. But for now its only have little premade action any request are welcome.

Thanks you for request it.

Thank you for explaining it.

 

@Lanslot. Thx for describing it. But i am not able to connect my GameObject-"Array" or my GameObject-"List" into the
"transform.rotate"-instance. Instance slot does not accept: arrays nor Lists, somehow. Your way doing it by a "group" doesn´t worked for me. (guess i don´t know how to do it)

@Wahid: i mean, it would be great if it could be handled more easy ! The more easy it is, the uNode-workflow benefits. When you can put it onto your "To-Do" List, we all will be more happy !

 

Hi sledgeman,

I think that features is easy to create like lanslot do it so i plan to not to make it in short times, i guess you missing some step when you follow the tutorial from lanslot. Sorry i cant give you picture/tutorial for how to do that because of holliday. Instead of foreachgroup node you can also use foreach node just setup the list and connect the value which i think you better to understand because this use connection instead of groupvariable. As soon as i back to work i will make simple tutorial for how to use foreach node for rotate many object.

 

Hey....i got it working now ! Thx @Lanslot and @Wahid and happy hollydays.

 

Glad to hear that.

 

It was more easy than i thought !

What about a "comment"-function ? Maybe a semi-transparent window that i can place nearby my nodes. This way i can put my notes everywhere. So i will know what i´ve done 2 years ago

 

uNode already have comment system, in inspector it named summary. When the summary filled the semi transparent box will be show in the bottom of node. But if you mean comment for many node uNode currently doesn't have it, it currently in my plans.

 

Hm,

i just found the "comment" inside the inspector of unode. Nothing in the unity inspector. And the comment funtion in unode has black colored text. Not well readable & i can´t change the color.

I would prefer a text box / node which i can position where i want in the canvas. It would be great to write down important notes inside such a "resizeable" box / node.

 

That what i mean, it currently in my plans it will available soon.

 

okay.....thats cool

 

I'm wondering if the package comes with source code because I tend to avoid reliance on 3rd DLLs in my project.

 

Hi ZiadJ,

I am sorry but uNode not comes with full source code and no plan to include the source code at the moment. If you only use uNode to generate c# script, you can remove uNode package before build the game.

 

Any time schedule on the upcoming new version ?

 

Around 1-2 weeks i'll release it.

 

Is there a roadmap we can see?

 

The featured roadmap are posted on first post.

Below is some changelog for upcoming version 1.6:
-Added support to generate generic classes and struct.
-Added support to parse Nested Types.
-Added ability to select type from generic parameter for types and functions.
-Added ability to save parsed uNode to prefab on CSharpParserWindow (only for parsing MonoScripts).
-Added ability to open menu by pressing Space key on the uNodeEditor canvas.
-Added NodeLock.cs used to generate lock statement.
-Added SelectNode.cs used to select one node from many values just like a switch but for value.
-Added about window.
-Improved Editor GUI
-Improved uNode Editor performance.
-Improved uNodeEditor
-Improved CSharpParser
-Improved CSharpGenerator
-Improved VariableData
-Improved MemberData
-Improved ItemSelector
-Fixed some bugs
-And much more

i still made some improvement after that i'll release new version.

picture for editor UI improvement:

and a new about window:

 

The new UI looks really good so far. Good job !

Hey, just bought this, great product Was pleasantly surprised! Have one suggestion and maybe a bug though.

I was trying to create my own editor window. I added Assembly-CSharp-Editor to assemblies, so I had access to it's own type in the search. What I'm trying to do is add a local variable of the containing type, because the method is just a static method to open the window.

Usually you do:

YourWindow window = GetWindow<YourWindow>();

Only when I compile, I get a warning (a uNode specific warning) of naming conflicts, still compiled, but sends it to a TempScript folder. Importing over the old files works fine, but tedious. I believe if your script name is different then the assigned name in the properties panel, this conflict doesn't happen. I'll update with the actual error soon, just can't access my PC for a few hours, and wanted to see if it's a bug or you have a specific way of doing stuff based on the local class. But it's very easy to reproduce.

Also I think it would be brilliant if there was a Script tab where Tools/Inspector tabs are. As a coder it would be amazing to see the changes on the fly, instead of working, compiling, look at selected file. Perhaps just send on node or class properties change. Just a suggestion, no one else is doing it, but certainly would be awesome. So you could actually see it as you "program". Who knows though, couple be slow.

Keep up the amazing work though!

 

Hi ThePositiveMoxie,

When the compile progress you get some error in the console or not?
It look like the error in the compile progress mean there is something wrong with the generated code.
Also can you send some pic for the error, it help me to see what kind of error.

That is brillian idea, i think this is a preview generated code before compile. I can make this feature but it would not be able to know the modified code the bad thing is it not real time change mean you need to click a button because the concept is generate the full code and then show the preview for user. I can add it in short time maybe next update will be available. Thanks for the idea.

 

That is awesome, glad you'll try and implement something like that! Good deal. *Edit*: Perhaps a hotkey as well would make it more fast and intuitive?

Here is everything that pertains to the errors:

Yes a hotkey would speed up working thanks for the idea.

From that error i think the bug inside the precompile, i don't know what happened on compile progress but i'll try to fix it. You can disable the precompile (Tools > Generate CSharp Script > uncheck compile script) to fix the bug.

Edit: just tested on .Net 4.x Equivalent (Scripting Runtime Version) and working, tested using Unity 2018.1.

 

Welp, totally overlooked my .net runtime. That was the problem all along. Sorry about that. I had another in 4.x that worked fine with runtime stuff, but then I guess I didn't switch on this one and didn't notice. I always use 4.x too.

You're, quick though! I'll hit you up with a review.

 

So .net 4.x won't fix bug in your pc?

thank you if you want to leave a review.

 

No, 4.x DID fix it. Everything works great now. Thanks.

 

Glad to hear that.

Also the preview c# feature is complete and will be available in the next update.

CSharpParser is no longer marked as BETA, I think it's stable enough.

Now uNode automatically finds an extension method from 'using namespaces' in the 'CSharp Generator' settings.
This also applies when you want to find a node, you can add a new namespace and uNode will find all nodes with that namespace, no matter what the assembly is.


The new template system allows users to start making things faster.
Here's a tutorial on how to create a simple template and use that template to create uNode.


From time to time i have improve the productivity to use uNode. Let me know if anyone request a new feature, post it here or pm me.
I have spent a lot of time improving uNode now it's time to move to make new tutorials, documentation, examples and maybe a videos for uNode so the next update after this will be more longer.

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

 

It looks really good. Tutorials always help. Maybe do a some of the starting Unity examples .. ?
the 2d space ship shooter game ? If you use free Unity examples then you don't need to
include files and people can follow along.

 

I would say, move on to doing some examples, tutorials and so on ! uNode is mature enough now, in my oppinion. I think you would generate more users by doing these tutorials. More users = more usefull feature request.

 

Hi,

Hmm, in my opinion, I think I will make some tutorials for simple tasks such as how to move, rotate, load levels etc.
The 2d space ship shooter will be great for a new example, do you have any suggestions for free assets in the store?

Yes uNode is mature i just need to made tutorial for how to using uNode, and yes more user give more feature request.

 

You could go with any of the free Unity tutorials ...
The one i was thinking is .. https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/?stay#!/content/13866
and or https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/?stay#!/content/40756

possibly the new 3d and 2d game kits https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/?stay#!/content/115747

Maybe a break out game and the good old " pong " game ...

I think ideally you would want to try to set it up to show off as many features as you can.

The CSharpParser could be great to show how to use this to set up nodes then use the nodes
to remake the game, could be another tut.

Also how to add the assemblies Unity has, I assume it has reflection ... too .. this could help
some people with less coding to " fix " ? small problems .. or add/ hook into a project to ad
more options.

First video I guess would be a walk tho of the whole system.

One thing I have found ... people these days are so ADHD , try and keep tutorials to maybe 20 mins,
even if you have to do part one 2 3 etc .... There prolly numbers some where on the net of the
best attention times to do videos on. I find i can snack through many 15 - 20 min videos no problem..
but the one hour ... I loose focus and have to rewind, and the problem with that is its harder to find the section you want.

If its possible think ahead .. no one likes doing tutorials ( I would think ) and the more the tool grows,
tutorials can become out of date. So if say your UI changes or location of buttons changes you
would want to only have to redo or update some of the main UI tutorials and then people can
still do the say .. shooter tutorial etc ..

Hope that makes sense.

 

Hi,

I've examples and videos for survival shooter. i will take a look into space shooter i think it would be great for new examples. Yea the new 2d and 3d game kit is awesome, i will take a time try to convert it to uNode.
And i think to make an simple examples which i can include it in the package, this will be my first priority for new examples.

I have tut for how to use CSharpParser but i think make another tut to remake a game, converting it to uNode and integrate it with state machine.

For reflection tutorial i think to make how to use uNode to integrate with another popular assets.

yes i don't think to make a video long, i will try make it clean, simple and easy to understand.

Thanks you very much.
