Bolt 2 style node #124

Open SadE54 opened 3 years ago

SadE54 commented 3 years ago

Hi,

With a lot of nodes connections can become illegible. Looking at different existing systems, it seems that bolt 2 found (at least partially) a solution : have the control flow inputs/outputs placed at the top and bottom of the node, and data horizontally if there's several control inputs for exemple, the horizontal line is splitted accordingly. I don't know if it's currently doable with the editor ?

Yes, it is possible. Editor allow you to place pins anywhere on the node (or even outside of the node). Every pin can have different input/output direction, so by default output can point down, inputs can point up. Blueprint example have example of such connection in behavioral node style.
