[REQUEST] Custom warning/error icons in custom nodes (from other assemblies)

[andy miiraParticipant]

Is there any public way to do custom error checking (with visual feedback) in custom Tasks? (similar to Playmaker’s ErrorCheck() override)

I noticed that in Task.cs, there’s the virtual method GetWarningOrError(), that does exactly what I want if I override it. (for example, to display a custom warning in the node, if some task validation fails)
But that method’s access modifier is defined as “internal”, so I can’t override it from custom Tasks in other assemblies (outside of the ParadoxNotion assembly).

Shouldn’t GetWarningOrError() be defined as virtual protected/public, instead?
Or is there any other way to do my custom warnings in the node/task GUI?

Hello again,

Right now there is only the [RequiredField] attribute which checks for whether or not a field is null (or string.Empty). With that said however, I went ahead and added your request by adding a new virtual method named “OnErrorCheck” that you can override to achieve what you are after.

Please open up Task.cs and add the following in GetWarningOrError method:

1 2 3 4

var userError = OnErrorCheck();             if ( userError != null ) { return userError; }

Then of course, also add this somewhere in the same class:

1 2 3 4

/// Override and return anything but null to mark the task has an error         virtual protected string OnErrorCheck() { return null; }

The above changes will of course exist in the next version update.
Please let me know if that works for you.
Thank you 🙂

Okay, the OnErrorCheck override worked perfectly 🙂

Thanks for adding my feature request!

You are welcome! I am glad this works for you. It will be there in the next version of course 🙂

Happy new year!
