Roadmap

2.0 Preview

1. Custom Nodes
2. Node Variables
3. Text Properties
4. Event Based Transitions

Create Custom Node Classes

• States and transitions can now be extended with reusable logic in both C++ and Blueprints.

Context Menu Display

• Register each class with a name and category so it will display on the context menu.

Instanced Logic Graphs

• Each node still has its own graph allowing class logic to be overridden.

Graph Properties

Expose Any Variable Directly on the Node

• Each exposed property becomes an instanced graph.
• Setting default values here will automatically set the default values of the node template.
  • This allows editor specific logic to apply, such as changing the icon based on an enum, number, etc.

• Variables or pure return functions can be drag & dropped on to the node.

Text Graph Properties

• Creates an instanced graph that returns formatted text.

• Drag and drop member variables or pure blueprint functions with a return value over the text box to auto place them in the graph.
  • If the value isn't already text it tries to auto cast it.
• To evaluate the graph you just have to break the struct and retrieve the Result text variable.

Event Transition Triggers

• Transitions can now auto bind to multicast delegates in the state machine or on the context.
• When the transition succeeds it will automatically update the state machine which means it's possible to disable tick all together.

• Select the delegate name from a drop down on the transition.
• This will automatically create new event nodes within the transition graph.

• When you compile these nodes automatically expand similar to this.

• Delegates on the context can also be bound to.
• The context class must be chosen as this information is only known at run-time.
