visual scripting and node copying

Archived Forums Questions & Answers

I studied UE, and now I am learning a visual programming tool in Unity. It turned out that they are very similar, but in my opinion, one function is missing, which is saving a text description of the node or their group to the clipboard. This is a very handy feature for external web applications, such as the blueprintue website

Unfortunately, Unity might not have a built-in feature for copying node descriptions to the clipboard directly from its visual scripting tool.
You can manually write down the details or take screenshots of your nodes and their settings. It’s a bit tedious, but it gets the job done. If you’re comfortable with coding, you might write a small script or editor extension in Unity to grab the details of selected nodes and copy them to the clipboard.

Unfortunately, I'm not a programmer. I'm just a regular person who enjoys creating simple interactive projects. Maybe the developers will read this wish, or people who know how to create scripts. There is another plus. Once I asked GPT to generate a specific code for me in blueprints, and it wrote it in a way that I could simply Ctrl+V, it was cool. I want Unity to be able to do the same. Neural networks are good at understanding regular code, but they can also assist with visual nodes.
