Identity Nodes (Manually)

This guide will walk you through creating identity nodes in Jungle manually. Let's get started!

Step 1: Create a New C# Script​

First, create a new C# script in your Unity project.

Step 2: Inherit from IdentityNode​

Next, make your new class inherit from the IdentityNode class. This will form the foundation of your identity node.

using Jungle;

//                            ↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓
public class MyIdentityNode : IdentityNode
{

}

Step 3: Implement OnStart and OnUpdate​

Now, you need to implement the OnStart and OnUpdate methods.

using Jungle;

public class MyIdentityNode : IdentityNode
{
    //                      ↓↓↓↓↓↓↓
    protected override void OnStart()
    {

    }

    //                      ↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓
    protected override void OnUpdate()
    {

    }
}

Step 4: Add the IdentityNode Attribute​

Add the IdentityNode attribute to your class. This defines the input and output ports.

tip

If you don't want an output port, set the OutputPortName property to null (OutputPortName = null).

using Jungle;

// ↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓
[IdentityNode(
    InputPortName = "My Input",
    OutputPortName = "My Output"
)]
public class MyIdentityNode : IdentityNode
{
    protected override void OnStart()
    {

    }

    protected override void OnUpdate()
    {

    }
}

Step 5: Add the NodeProperties Attribute​

Finally, add the NodeProperties attribute to your class. This defines additional properties such as the title, description, and category of your node.

using Jungle;

// ↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓
[NodeProperties(
    Title = "My Identity Node",
    Description = "This is an identity node.",
    Category = "My Nodes/Identity",
    Color = Green
)]
[IdentityNode(
    InputPortName = "My Input",
    OutputPortName = "My Output"
)]
public class MyIdentityNode : IdentityNode
{
    protected override void OnStart()
    {

    }

    protected override void OnUpdate()
    {

    }
}

With these steps, you've created a basic identity node in Jungle. Feel free to customize the input and output properties to suit your needs!
