Node Graph
The node graph is the section of the interface where you put your sequences together.
Using the Jungle Editor
Here's a video style guide on how to use the Jungle Editor. Watch this if you prefer to watch rather than read!
Adding Nodes
There are two methods for adding nodes to the graph:
Via the Node Explorer
The Node Explorer is a comprehensive, organized list of every available node in your project. This feature allows you to easily browse through the different types of nodes and find the one you need.
To add a node via the Node Explorer:
- Scroll through the Node Explorer to find the node you want to add. You can also use the search bar at the top to quickly locate the desired node.
- Click and hold on the node you wish to add. Drag it from the Node Explorer into the graph view.
- Move the node to the desired position on the graph and release the mouse button.
Via the Connection Lookup
The Connection Lookup offers a curated list of nodes specifically compatible with the selected output port.
To add a node using the Connection Lookup:
- Click and hold on the output port of an existing node where you'd like to connect a new node.
- Drag the connection line to an empty spot on the graph view and release the mouse button. The Connection Lookup will appear, displaying only the nodes that can be connected to the selected output port.
- Browse through the curated list of compatible nodes and select the one you wish to add. You can also use the search bar at the top of the Connection Lookup to quickly locate the desired node.
- Once you select the node, it will be added to your graph and automatically connected to the output port you initially clicked on.
Selecting Nodes
There are two method for selecting nodes in the graph:
Selecting With Cursor
To select a node, simply click on it.
To add multiple nodes to your selection, hold the Ctrl
key while clicking on each additional node.
Drawing a Selection Box
This method allows you to select multiple nodes simultaneously by enclosing them within a drawn box.
- Left-click and hold.
- Drag the cursor to create a selection box around the nodes you wish to select.
- Release the mouse button to complete the selection.
You can append your selection by holding the Ctrl
key while drawing a selection box.
Connecting Nodes
To connect a node to another:
- Left-click and hold on the port of a node.
- Drag the connection line to the port of another node.
- Release the connection line to create the connection.
This process links the nodes together, forming a sequence that dictates the flow and logic of your tree.
- Connections can only be made between ports of the same type.
- You must connect output ports to input ports, and vice versa.
