Group Node

GCS · Built-In Node Library

Collapse several selected nodes into one named visual block.

`Group` is not added from Add Node. Select at least two nodes, press `Ctrl` + `G` on Windows or `Cmd` + `G` on macOS, then name and configure the group ports.

Node Usage​

Group

Hides a connected subgraph behind a named boundary while preserving its runtime behavior. Use it for a meaningful reusable shape such as Play Effect; leave only the necessary boundary ports unconnected inside, and pin the few inline parameter rows you want to edit from the collapsed group face.

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.

See FlowGraph Window: groups for entering, leaving, renaming, exposing parameters, unpacking, and deleting groups.
