Visual Logic Editor (Antares VIZIO) : (video screens)

using VisLoEd.Core;

namespace VisLoEd.Blocks

    [VisualLogicBlock("Rotate Transform", "Transforms")]
    public class TransformRotate : LogicBlock

I mean how does it work at runtime?
Well from RegisterOutputTrigger(“Exit”); it seems that input functions attached in graph to trigger Exit will need be called through reflection. Or does it also generate some code that works at runtime?

Neodrop · September 1, 2010, 1:55pm

No Reflection during runtime. All code is generated on program start, or when the GameObject with Vizio-graph is created (or receives the Vizio-code from Network for example) - just one time per object live and next, all calls is transferred by delegates.
Very fast and stable. No reflection in execution.

Amazing stuff!!!

Some of the most demanded extensions for unity are coming from the hand of the comunity.

Visual logic and Visual Shader editor.

Keep on the good work!!

Very nice.

Hi Neodrop,

pardon the question but will your Visual logic environment be somewhat comparable to Kismet in UDK ?

Really good man. I don´t know if you have the interest, but Unity should think about employing you.

Neodrop · September 2, 2010, 7:41am

Yes. This is something similar, but without Kismet limitation and much more faster. With my system everybody can create any conceivable code without any limitations. (in near future).

Neodrop · September 2, 2010, 7:55am

I’m not alone 8)

system · September 2, 2010, 7:55am

So then this

ActivateTrigger(“Exit”);

Turns into something like:

class TransformRotateGenerated : TranfromRotate
{
   overload void ActivateTrigger(string trigger)
   {
       switch (trigger)
       {
           case "Exit":
               SomeNode.SomeFunction(parameters);
               SomeOtherNode...
               break;
       }
   }
}

What i mean is you still need to have one indirection level right?

Neodrop · September 2, 2010, 8:05am

No. When the graph is created during runtime (on Start or when object with graph is created), the core prepare all necessery delegates and store it in the Dictionary.
When the logic block call ActivateTrigger(“Exit”); the core just looking in the dictionary and execute the found delegate by this key. This Delegate calls a some method in other logic block (to wich it is connected by the link). And so on.

system · September 2, 2010, 8:13am

That is still one level of indirection
Anyway, will keep my eyes on this project :shock:

Neodrop · September 2, 2010, 8:18am

May be you right, may by I don’t understood clearly your questions.
My teachers was japanese (good peoples, but with a bad english knowledge).

As Quest3D and recent Unity user, I think that Quest3D is far more productive.
I really hope you can go with this thing, and may not have to return to Quest3D…
All my humble support if needed.

tatoforever · September 2, 2010, 10:06pm

When is this comming out?
I have a very complex FSM on my current projet that will be simply done with this visual editor.
Can i really do anything that could be done with code or is there any limitation?
Cheers,

Neodrop · September 3, 2010, 8:29am

No limitation. You can use Vizio or normal code together in any combination. I will create a simple to use bridge from Vizio to the Code and back.

About release. I hope to release a beta in October.

tatoforever · September 3, 2010, 10:31am

Is there any runtime code generation? How is VIZIO performing?
Keep the hard work.
Cheers,

Neodrop · September 3, 2010, 10:55am

Yes. Runtime code generation. Performance near to the original code. I’m not ready yet to publish any banchmarks. Work in progress.
