ConvertNode

When connecting data ports, you can use a script to create a node that performs data type conversion.

How to write a script

• Create a class that inherits from LogicToolkit.ConvertNode.
• Apply System.SerializableAttribute to the type.
• Define a method called static bool Convertible(System.Type from, System.Type to) to determine whether type conversion is possible.
• Define a method called protected override void Convert(IInputDataPort input, IOutputDataPort output) and write the type conversion process.

When you connect a port with a data type that meets the conditions, a conversion node is automatically inserted. Each input/output port is created from the data type when connected.

Code example

The built-in EvaluateToQuaternionNode is implemented as follows.

        }

        protected override void Convert(IInputDataPort input, IOutputDataPort output)
        {
            if (input.TryGetValue<Vector3>(out var value))
            {
                output.TrySetValue(Quaternion.Euler(value));
            }
        }
    }
