Node Wizardry

Make magic spells using nodes

Full documentation

Editor

• Your spell works like a little program that executes nodes recursively
• Drag nodes from left panel into scene (start with a root node)
• Connect nodes using right mouse button
• Unlink nodes by connecting them again
• Use scrollwheel to move around the editor
• Drag nodes back to the left panel to delete them
• Press RUN button in the bottom right corner to open the playground
• Use SAVE/LOAD buttons to save/load spells in active slot
• Switch between spell slots using 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 buttons
• You can also upload spells to server using the PUBLISH button (enter the name in the dialog) and view them using the LIBRARY button
• You can make loops but with timers (otherwise it will start a recursion loop)

Playground

• Use right mouse button to cast spells
• Use middle mouse button to switch slots
• Use WASD/Arrow keys to move
• Use BACK button to return to the editor

How do spells work

• Spells always start from the root node (striped circle)
• All actions are instant (except timers and triggers)
• Elemental nodes (fire, water, lightning) change current spell element
• Trigger nodes (collision) only activate upon some event
• Timer nodes delay spell execution

Examples

• Simple fireball (Root -> Fire -> Forward)
• Exploding fireball (Root -> Fire -> Forward -> Collision -> Explosion)
• Check other examples in the library screen
