Advanced customization and development

Note

For versions 2019/2020 LTS, download the Visual Scripting package from the Unity Asset Store.

You can customize and extend the basic functionality of Visual Scripting using C# code.

Create a Script Graph node

With a C# script, you can create your own Custom C# node and add more functionality to your Visual Scripting graphs.

Create a custom event node

You can trigger logic in your application with a custom event node.

Add custom types to Visual Scripting

Add your own custom classes and types in Visual Scripting to store information more efficiently.
