# Add relations to a Custom C# node
|
|
|
|
> [!NOTE]
|
|
> To add logic to a node, you must create a Custom C# node and add ports. [!include[vs-tasks-note-end](./snippets/custom-c-nodes/vs-tasks-note-end.md)]
|
|
|
|
After you [add ports](vs-create-custom-node-add-ports.md) and [add logic](vs-create-custom-node-add-logic.md) to a node, relations help Visual Scripting correctly display a Custom C# node in a Script Graph.
|
|
|
|
To add relations to a node:
|
|
|
|
1. [!include[vs-open-project-window](./snippets/vs-open-project-window.md)]
|
|
|
|
2. [!include[vs-open-existing-external-code](./snippets/vs-open-existing-external-code.md)]
|
|
|
|
3. In your external editor, add relations in the format `$RelationType$($Port1$, $Port2$)`, where `$RelationType$` is the relation type you want to assign between the ports you specify as `$Port1$` or `$Port2$`.
|
|
|
|
For example, to assign relations to the previous example node:
|
|
|
|
```C#
|
|
using System;
|
|
using Unity.VisualScripting;
|
|
using UnityEngine;
|
|
|
|
public class MyNode : Unit
|
|
{
|
|
[DoNotSerialize]
|
|
public ControlInput inputTrigger;
|
|
|
|
[DoNotSerialize]
|
|
public ControlOutput outputTrigger;
|
|
|
|
[DoNotSerialize]
|
|
public ValueInput myValueA;
|
|
|
|
[DoNotSerialize]
|
|
public ValueInput myValueB;
|
|
|
|
[DoNotSerialize]
|
|
public ValueOutput result;
|
|
|
|
private string resultValue;
|
|
protected override void Definition()
|
|
{
|
|
inputTrigger = ControlInput("inputTrigger", (flow) =>
|
|
{
|
|
resultValue = flow.GetValue<string>(myValueA) + flow.GetValue<string>(myValueB) + "!!!";
|
|
return outputTrigger;
|
|
});
|
|
outputTrigger = ControlOutput("outputTrigger");
|
|
|
|
myValueA = ValueInput<string>("myValueA", "Hello ");
|
|
myValueB = ValueInput<string>("myValueB", String.Empty);
|
|
result = ValueOutput<string>("result", (flow) => resultValue);
|
|
|
|
Requirement(myValueA, inputTrigger); //Specifies that we need the myValueA value to be set before the node can run.
|
|
Requirement(myValueB, inputTrigger); //Specifies that we need the myValueB value to be set before the node can run.
|
|
Succession(inputTrigger, outputTrigger); //Specifies that the input trigger port's input exits at the output trigger port. Not setting your succession also dims connected nodes, but the execution still completes.
|
|
Assignment(inputTrigger,result);//Specifies that data is written to the result string output when the inputTrigger is triggered.
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For more information on relation types, see [Custom C# nodes](vs-create-custom-node.md#relation-types).
|
|
|
|
4. [!include[vs-save-script](./snippets/vs-save-script.md)]
|
|
|
|
1. [!include[vs-return-unity](./snippets/vs-return-unity.md)]
|
|
|
|
5. Do one of the following:
|
|
|
|
- [!include[vs-open-graph-w-node](./snippets/custom-c-nodes/vs-open-graph-w-node.md)].
|
|
- [!include[vs-ff-add-node](./snippets/custom-c-nodes/vs-ff-add-node.md)]
|
|
|
|
6. In the [Graph toolbar](vs-interface-overview.md#the-graph-toolbar), enable **Relations**.
|
|
|
|
Visual Scripting displays the relations you assigned to the Custom C# node. If you used the previous code sample, the node's relations might look like the following image:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Next steps
|
|
|
|
After you add relations to a node, you can choose to [add documentation](vs-create-custom-node-add-docs.md) or [customize the node with attributes](vs-create-custom-node-attributes-reference.md).
