Exploring the Scene Flow Editor

Scene Flow Editor

The Scene Flow Editor is use to create and design the flow of your game. It is a visual node based editor. Each node represents a scene in your project. Each graph will have a start node that represents the bootstrap scene and the flow will start here.

Beside the start scene, there are 2 types of scene node, base scene and overlay scene. When a base scene loaded, it will replace the previous scene. On the other hand, the overlay scene will add on top of other scene.

You can add a new scene node by the drop down button on the toolbar. Or, press the shortcut Key “A”popup the dropdown menu. A list of available scene will show in the drop down menu. Select to add on the scene.

After adding the scenes, you can connect the node by drag and drop from the output port to the input port of the node.

You can select the node and change the properties from the inspector. Toggle the inspector by clicking on the arrow at each side of the toolbar. Or, pressing Key“N” to toggle the inspector.

You can find the common properties for each node.
