Displaying Node IDs in Canvas Editor

[cbrandickParticipant]

Hey Gavalakis,

New question. I want to be able to see the base class node ids within the node canvas editor. Do you have any idea how to do this simply?

Thanks in advance,
Charlie

Hey,

For something simple and temporary, you can open up EDITOR_Node.cs and in the method “ShowNodeGUI” at line #173, put the following code at the end of that method:

1 2 3 4

var idRect = new Rect(nodeRect.x, nodeRect.y-18, nodeRect.width, 18); GUI.Label(idRect, ID.ToString());

I can add this as a preference in the next version to toggle on/off the node IDs in a similar way.
Let me know if this works for you.

Cheers!

Hey Gavalakis,

I actually had a quick fix myself, but I think yours looks better. At line #173 the IDs show even when the nodes are folded back into a parent. It works better at line #197. 🙂

Thanks!

PS
As for adding the toggle. I don’t know how useful this is for people other than myself… I am trying to understand the JSON structure a bit better. If you don’t mind putting it in, that’d be awesome, but I don’t mind tossing it into the editor script for the time being. Thanks!!!
