    • Describe how a section of your graph works.
    • Leave a note for yourself or others who might work on your Unity project.

    You can add text to the title and body of a Sticky Note. You can use Sticky Notes in Script Graphs and State Graphs.

A Sticky Note has been added to the graph, and states that "To Do: Change the graph so Gold updates at more random intervals."
