Group Node

Guide

Group configured nodes into a named, collapsible block without changing their runtime behavior

Node Usage​

Group

Put connected nodes in a named, collapsible Group such as Play Effect. Keep the ports you need available in the parent graph unconnected inside the Group. Pin the parameters you want to edit from the collapsed view.

Inputs

  • Dynamic control and data inputs (Original internal port type): Generated automatically for every internal input port that has no connection inside Body; labels identify the internal node and port

Outputs

  • Dynamic control and data outputs (Original internal port type): Generated automatically for every internal output port that has no connection inside Body; labels identify the internal node and port

The screenshot's In, Amount, Result, and Out are representative; group boundary ports come from unconnected ports inside the selected graph; connecting one of those ports internally removes it from the outer boundary

Parameters

  • Group Name (String): Group; Title shown on the outer node
  • Body (FlowGraph): New nested graph; Nodes and connections packaged inside the group
  • Exposed Params (Internal row-key list): Empty; Chooses which internal inline parameter rows are copied onto the collapsed Group face for direct editing; it does not create boundary ports

Double-click the group to edit its body; boundary ports are automatic; selecting an internal parameter label controls only whether that editable row also appears on the outer Group face; at runtime GCS flattens nested groups back into their contained nodes and connections, so grouping is an authoring boundary rather than an extra gameplay step
