Node overview

🧩

Guide

Find a node by its job, then check its ports, settings, and runtime behavior.

Node families

Each color on the canvas marks a node family. The Group keeps its exposed Volume, Clip, Lifetime, and Prefab fields editable in the parent graph. Open a family below to find a node's settings and ports.

Family	Count	Complete manual	Use it for
Entry	33	Entry nodes	Start execution after a battle, turn, card, unit, status, energy, or event timing
Hook	18	Hook nodes	Intercept a value before GCS commits it, then replace or cancel it where supported
Flow	10	Flow nodes	Shape execution with branches, loops, sequences, choices, waits, switches, and gates
Action	27	Action nodes	Change battle state, including damage, HP, Armor, energy, cards, statuses, variables, turns, and units
Intent	6	Intent nodes	Build reusable enemy Intent patterns and previews
Get	20	Get nodes	Read battle context, units, cards, statuses, piles, variables, event arguments, and collections
Operator	22	Operator nodes	Calculate, compare, filter, sort, select, merge, and convert data
FX	7 + 2 Demo	FX nodes	Request VFX, SFX, animation, floating text, unit movement, and camera feedback; the Demo assembly registers 2 additional status-presentation nodes
Event	2	Event nodes	Raise an internal GCS event or a GES event
Group	1	Group node	Place selected nodes in a collapsible visual block with Ctrl + G or Cmd + G; Group is not added from Add Node

The 146 core nodes include 145 Add Node entries and 1 Group node created with a keyboard shortcut. The 2 Demo FX extensions bring the total to 148. Available Add Node entries depend on the Behavior's owner, and Raise GES Event and On GES Event require GES integration.

Choose by the graph task

Graph task	Family
Start behavior at a battle, turn, card, unit, status, energy, or event timing	Entry
Intercept a value before GCS commits it	Hook
Change battle state	Action
Read a live value or object	Get
Calculate, compare, or narrow data	Operator
Branch, repeat, wait, or sequence execution	Flow
Present the committed result	FX
Choose and preview an enemy Behavior	Intent
Notify another system	Event
Display several configured nodes as one block	Group

tip

A FlowGraph normally combines several families. A card may start at On Card Played, resolve targets with Get and Operator nodes, commit gameplay through Action nodes, then present the committed result with FX nodes

Core nodes and extensions share one menu

Add [FlowNode(category, displayName)] to put a custom node in an existing category. Demo extensions use the same registry.
