Reply To: Any way to add 'Auto Convert' ?

Hello and sorry for the very late reply!

Thank you for your feedback. I am glad you like NodeCanvas 🙂
Yes, it is possible to provide custom conversions by subscribing to the “customConverter” event found in the TypeConverter class. Here is an example of usage for adding a converter from GraphOwner to Blackboard as per your example case:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22

static class CustomConverters {       //static initialize, subscribe to event     static CustomConverters() {         TypeConverter.customConverter += PerformConversion;     }       //perform custom covnersions     static System.Func<object, object> PerformConversion(System.Type fromType, System.Type toType) {                  if ( typeof(GraphOwner).IsAssignableFrom(fromType) && toType == typeof(Blackboard) ) {             return (value) => ( value as GraphOwner ).blackboard;         }                  //add more here if desired           return null;     } }

Let me know if that works for you.
Thanks!
