​

This thread is about Branches for Unity : a lightweight, easy to use, easy to extend node editor.
To demonstrate how easy it is to build node-based systems it comes with a Logic, Dialogue and Behaviour tree.

It is intended for prototyping, separating design from implementation and as a base for new systems.

This thread

I'm personally using Branches for Unity as a starting point for my own game systems that require data that would otherwise have to be created using a complicated text file or a large transform hierarchy.

I'm curious to see what you guys think of it, I'd like to find things that I can improve upon and also I'd very much like to see what you guys are doing with it. Thank you for your time.

 

Could this be used for a tech tree?
Could you find a node by name or id and then find all nodes connected to a parent terminal?

 

Yes, a dictionary is maintained of all nodes by name, so you can look them up efficiently.

That's why unique names are generated when you create a new node, although you still have the option to rename it (it checks that the name isn't already used).

There are also built-in methods for a node to find all nodes that are connected to a slot.

 

Is the view zoomable?
