Question: How about support odin serialize?

[JusamLiu]

Do we have a plan about support odin serialize,beacause it's attribute is very convenient and simple? eg: drawing List or custom type.

[alelievr]

The requirement for supporting odin serialize attributes and unity built-in field attributes are the same: I need to use SerializeField to display the fields in UIElement.

The problem is that currently I can't use it because the fields are not serialized, it will be the case when the big serialization refactor lands, but I don't really know when it will be ready (I still wait for a fix on Unity side).

So to answer your question, it's planned but waiting for the serialization task to be completed :)

OK, I have almost completed this task, this is my Fork version from the author library, combined with Odin serialization：https://github.com/wqaetly/NodeGraphProcessor This is a related blog I wrote to introduce it：https://www.lfzxb.top/nodegraphprocesssor-and-odin/ Below are some screenshots

Hi @alelievr , any update on this? :)

[alelievr]

The serialization refactor has landed but there is still an issue with the ApplySerializedProperty() function that re-creates all the node data which causes all the nodes to lose their references. So I'm waiting for this issue to be fixed to finish implementing the feature.

[leissler]

So the serialization refactor is in the master branch, but it's not stable for use in products yet?

[alelievr]

Okay, I managed to finish the implementation of SerializedProperties in the node views so now all the builtin Unity property drawers as well as the CustomPropertyDrawers in Odin inspector.

I think it's fairly stable now, so all this work will be available in the next release: the 1.3.0

Here's an example with UnityEvent builtin drawer:

And the node code:

using UnityEngine;
using GraphProcessor;
using UnityEngine.Events;

[System.Serializable, NodeMenuItem("Custom/Unity Event Node")]
public class UnityEventNode : BaseNode
{
    [Input(name = "In")]
        public float                input;

    [Output(name = "Out")]
    public float                output;

    public UnityEvent           evt;

    public override string      name => "Unity Event Node";
}

Awesome!!!

Fantastic! 🦾

Yeah saves soo much extra work. Btw there is still some visual problem with lists here (nodes with lists get very tall)

[alelievr]

Hum, it seems to be an issue on GraphView side, I'll see if I can add a workaround somewhere to avoid that issue

[alelievr]

I added this bit of code: https://github.com/alelievr/NodeGraphProcessor/commit/35a0514379d252c019545b41525841eb76626440#diff-88aab6f235f642dfb544df6a26caf202382529e8e056a03c2eaf60934faeb4ceR271

Seems to work pretty well

Border fixed...node not fixed. here is an example with your list node( My mouse is outside the node bellow it, I can select the node from there. Preventing me to select anything else. works only when the list is unfolded. )

[alelievr]

Yeah, I can't do much more than that. I've reported the bug in the bug tracker: https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/product/unity/issues/guid/1351693/

Hopefully, it will be fixed soon as it only happens on the 2021.2 betas.
