    Hi,

    will there be in the future a variable node?

    Also i would like to store more "custom" data... currently i can kinda store 4 values via targetPosition and custom attribute, but this is ugly. I would just like to have multiple custom attributes, and not only floats, but vector 3 etc too.

    This is already available, you have to create a set custom attribute block that you can set u in the inspector once you have selected it. You can have all kind of types from float to vector4 bool int and uint. Use the get custom attribute node to access those values. Make sure they have the same setup in the inspector.

    It's all about bad UX. When you click on the Set Custom Attribute, check the inspector, you will be able to set the name and the type. Same with the Get Custom attribute.

    Hi @Cell-i-Zenit ,

    As @cAyouMontreal pointed out, the VFX Graph uses the inspector for many different settings. Here is how to modify custom attributes:
