Plasma-Custom-Nodes

A library to unify and streamline the process of adding custom nodes into Plasma

Create a custom node using this Library

Note: This library requires that its methods are called before [Assembly-CSharp.dll]Holder.Awake so make sure the mod entry is happening at least prior to that

1. Create a new class that inherits PlasmaModding.CustomAgent [?]
2. Create a gestalt using PlasmaModding.CustomNodeManager.CreateGestalt
3. Add any ports to the gestalt using PlasmaModding.CustomNodeManager.CreateCommandPort, PlasmaModding.CustomNodeManager.CreatePropertyPort and PlasmaModding.CustomNodeManager.CreateNode
4. Create the node from the gestalt using PlasmaModding.CustomNodeManager.CreateNode

PlasmaModding.CustomNodeManager

This class is static. It should not be instantiated, all methods can be called directly on the type PlasmaModding.CustomNodeManager

- Creating Gestalt For Node

• Create Gestalt: PlasmaModding.CustomNodeManager.CreateGestalt(Type, string, string?, AgentCategoryEnum)

- Add Ports to Gestalt

• Create Command Port: CreateCommandPort(AgentGestalt, string, string, int)
• Create Property Port: CreatePropertyPort(AgentGestalt, string, string, Behavior.Data.Types, bool, Behavior.Data?, string?)
• Create Output Port: CreateOutputPort(AgentGestalt, string, string, Behavior.Data.Types, bool, Behavior.Data?, string?)

- Creating Node From Gestalt

• Create Node: CreateNode(AgentGestalt, string)

- Getting/Creating Custom Categories

• Custom Category: CustomCategory(string)

PlasmaModding.CustomAgent

This class should only be extended, not instantiated. The reason it is not an interface is because the Agent class is not an interface

- Writing A CustomAgent Class

- Port Operations

• Get Property: GetProperty(string)
• Write Output: WriteOutput(string, Behavior.Data)
