|
Nodes are the most basic element of computation in visual scripting. Nodes display the required information as text, but editing is done via the Inspector. To edit them, select any node and edit its properties in the Inspector.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## This node
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The [This](vs-self.md) node returns the game object that owns the machine in which the graph runs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Control nodes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[Control](vs-control.md) nodes branch, loop and merge the flow.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Time nodes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[Time](vs-time.md) nodes include timer, cooldown and wait nodes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Events
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Scripting nodes listen for [events](vs-events-reference.md). They are the starting point for all scripts and appear as special green nodes in graphs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Variables
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These nodes get, set, and check [variables](vs-variables-reference.md).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Nulls
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Nodes that deal with the [nulls](vs-nulls.md), a.k.a. "nothing" value.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Formulas
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[Formula](vs-formula.md) evaluates logical and mathematical expressions directly via a textual Formula and match with multiple arguments.
