A\#1: ActionGraph can't be edited in-game (someone will definitely prove me wrong) A\#2: If someone made an editor for them smh, it would have 0 collaboration features A\#3: There are no protection features, which means you either are giving players full control Why am I stuck and can't move? A: You might have an input field selected on a \`Constant\` node, try pressing Enter Will there be a permission system to restrict which properties players can fuck with? A: Yes and No, there should and will be one, but much later when Facepunch finally makes a Sandbox gamemode. In terms of other gamemodes - disable \`ShouldLoadDefaults\` on the Node Library and Do It Yourself Execution control, For, While, Delay? A: Nope, Soon-ish Variables or something like that? A\#1: I ate them A\#2: There will be Components that you can add to GameObjects to store variables, soon-ish. Better options like local variables will be there when we'll figure out \`NodeContext\`s User Docs? A\#1: I ate them A\#2: There are Name/Desc fields on Nodes, which will be used later for an in-game tooltip thingy Developer Docs? A\#1: I ate them A\#2: A wiki will go up on Github, when the API is stable and doesn't shit it's pants Where are ? and ? nodes? A: I ate them (make a feature request) "After-contest" planned features - Comparison and BitwiseOps nodes (and just general wiremod feature-parity) - Better implementations for Add, Clamp, etc..., which should be based on interfaces instead- (+ a shit ton of useful interfaces/math functions that should probably move into a separate library) - UI Helper thingy, that shows you the text input field you have focused- (should fix the "stuck" problem described above) - General codebase cleanup - repetitive code, polish up the node library API - In-editor WorldPanel rendering (if possible) and general In-editor QoL - Search functionality - User-side SceneTree Explorer - A \`Pin\` type, that acts as a "pulse" (i.e. UE Blueprint's Exec or Resonite's Discrete nodes)- (Wiremod used number pins as signals (rising edge/falling edge), which was very cumbersome) - Collapse/Uncollapse Nodes into/from a single Node - Multiplayer support, with shared/client/server -side nodes/calculations - A \`NodeContext\` which allows you to implement functions/events local to that context - A \`Node3dGrid\` component that aligns placed nodes on a 2d grid - Pack/Unpack nodes into GameObjects (same as Pack/Unpack in Protoflux) - Custom panels for some nodes, so that they are more compact (+, -, \*, ...) - And, ofcourse, more \`Node\`s 🛠️ ## More by Manonox | Package | Ident | Players | Favorites | Upvotes | Score | Markdown | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Salochk | manonox.salochk | 0 | 1 | 1 | 27% | https://sbox.watch/games/manonox/salochk.md |
