[request] Switching Generic Node type without reconnecting, Global and Dummy var

[kevynm]

Hi! I know I ask for a lot, but its because I really like the plugin. I have a feature request that I’ve been having a problem with lately.

I used a node that uses a generic data type. The problem is I wanted to switch the type but I have to remove the node, then replace and reconnect it again which is very cumbersome. So, can you please add an option where I just right click the generic node (or something similar) and just change its type?

Also, can you please make a dummy variable node just like the one in your flow controllers? Because sometimes the source variable nodes are very far and it creates this long lines that I can’t organize properly.

Lastly, I bought node canvas, can I use the global blackboard with flow canvas?

Thank you very much if you add it!

Hey,

Thanks. I am glad you like the plugin!
I like your suggestion. I will add the ability to replace the (T) type of the generic nodes in the next version 🙂

There is already a dummy variable node. It’s called “Identity”, under “Functions/Utility” (hmm. Maybe I should rename it).

Thanks for getting NC as well!
Yes you can use Global Blackboards with FlowCanvas, but the variables in the global blackboards do not show in the context menu. I will certaintly add that though. To make use of a Global Variable, please add a GraphVariable(T) and then press the radio button to link it to a variable. The dropdown will then display global variables of that type as well.

Thanks!
