#Live editing
|
|
|
|
| **Note** |
|
|
| :----------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| For versions 2019/2020 LTS, download the visual scripting solution from the [Unity Asset Store](https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/visual-bolt-163802). |
|
|
|
|
Visual scripting supports live editing. In live editing you can create and edit graphs while in play mode and see the visual scripting updates in real time. This provides a fast way to iterate and test ideas without the need to recompile project changes.
|
|
|
|
###Working in live edit
|
|
|
|
Live editing is not limited to tweaking values — you can add and remove units, connections (edges), etc while live. Anything that can be done in a normal edit, can be done in a live edit.
|
|
|
|
In accordance with the Unity convention:
|
|
|
|
* Changes made to embeds are reverted when you exit play mode - the changes live inside components.
|
|
* Changes made to graphs are saved when you exit play mode - the changes live inside assets
|
|
|
|
Tip: To preserve the changes made to a component graph, copy the modified units before exiting play mode. You'll then be able to paste back while in edit mode.
|
|
|
|
When in live mode, visual scripting is displayed the flow as droplets on connections.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To disable these animations on either the value connections, the control connections, or both, uncheck the **Animate Control Connections** or the **Animate Value Connections** from the editor preferences window (**Unity** > **Preferences** > **Visual Scripting** > **Script Graphs**).
|
|
|
|
###Saving changes through persistence
|
|
|
|
Visual scripting graphs automatically saves the changes made during play mode.
|
|
|
|
###Propagation across graphs
|
|
|
|
Changes made to graphs are instantly shared across all instances of that graph.
