Create an enum in blackboard

[pvanallenParticipant]

I can’t seem to find any info on how to create an enum to use in the blackboard and conditions. How do you do that?

Hello,

You first have to actually create an enum type within some script of yours, like for example:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

public enum MyEnum { One, Two, Three, Four }

Then, you have to add that new enum type in the Preferred Types Editor window (Tools/ParadoxNotion/NodeCanvas/Preferred Types Editor).

After you have done this, your enum will show up in the menu and possible to be added as a variable 🙂

Let me know if that works for you.
Thanks.

Yes, that worked. Thanks!

Maybe put some reference to this on this page:

nodecanvas.paradoxnotion.com/documentation/?section=the-blackboard

I made a suggested edit on that page.

Thanks for letting me as well as for your documentation suggestion.
I will see to it and update the docs 🙂

Thanks!

It would also be great to be able to easily set a dynamicVar to an enum value in SetEnum.

Hey,

Do you mean for “ValueA”? If so it’s not possible now because “ValueA” assignment needs to be made so that the enum type is determined.
To work around this, I could add a “Select Type” button to set the type though, instead of the pre-requirement of “ValueA” to be set for that.

Let me know if that is indeed what you meant.
Thanks 🙂
